Donald Trump is a liar, we all know this. He lies about literally everything, from the weather to crowd size to his wealth and everything in between. Today’s lie (the one I am writing about, although I am sure there are a dozen others) is about a trip to Gaza. One that he never made, but he continues to claim that he did.
I mean, yes, he went to Israel. But that is NOT Gaza. You know the difference (I am half Israeli – I KNOW the difference). You would not confuse going to Jerusalem or Haifa or Tel Aviv with Gaza. Yet, Trump claims he definitely went there.
CNN fact checked this claim and also determined that there was zero evidence to support it. HE LIED.
Daniel Dale, one of the best (if not THE BEST) fact checkers around, dove into this deeply on Tuesday after Trump stated in an interview about Gaza: “You know, I’ve been there, and it’s rough.” During the same interview Trump said that “Gaza could be better than Monaco. It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything.”
For those unaware, Gaza has been under control of the terrorist group Hamas since 2007. He definitely did not go there. Zero chance. Now, he did visit the West Bank in 2017, but that is very different than Gaza. Although in Trump’s oatmeal brain, maybe they are the same.
