Donald Trump falsely claimed on Monday that he has won the Iowa caucuses twice, when in fact, he only won the contest in 2020.
He was beaten by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2016.
Said Trump: “We’re gonna have a great night and a fantastic place. We’ve won it twice as you know, two elections and I think we’re gonna have a tremendous night. The people are fantastic and I’ve never seen spirit like they have countrywide. But in Iowa, I’ve never seen spirit like this.”
