The GOP nominee, in an event moderated by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), remarked on himself after hearing from someone named Ashley who identified herself as an employee at a Chrysler auto plant in the battleground state.

"With many jobs being outsourced as we speak, what actions will you take to ensure that our jobs stay in America so we can continue to build the best cars in the world here in Michigan," asked the voter at the event in Warren, Michigan.

"So pretty much as we've been saying and what I want to do is that I want to be able to - look, your business - years ago, in this area, I was honored as the man of the year," said Trump as he revived a long-debunked claim.

"It was maybe 20 years ago, oh, and the fake news heard about it, they said it never happened, it never happened."

Investigations by HuffPost and CNN found no evidence evidence whatsoever of this happening.

Somebody better wake up Strawlighter (Bellringer, who's either erecting strawmen or gaslighting unceasingly) and be sure to bring his fainting couch. Everyday we're regaled with disprovable lies about Kamala's Harris not answering policy questions and speaking in word salads, something which Mark Cuban seems to have no problem understanding clearly.

"Whenever Donald Trump says something, everybody else has to explain for him what he said, right?" Cuban told MSNBC. He contrasted that with the Democratic presidential nominee, arguing that she "says what she says [and] everybody knows what she means. That is such a stark difference between the two."

Now yesterday, Trump facing a simple question about a voter's personal concern launches into an answer that's only about HIM, completely ignoring the voter's concerns about her future, instead misremembering events that occurred a decade ago.

Former Rep. Dave Trott (R-Mich.) previously revealed that the claim may stem from Trump serving as the keynote speaker at the Oakland County Republican Party's 2013 Lincoln Day Dinner in the state.

Trump didn't receive an award, Trott told MLive.com in 2019, but he was presented with a tie, an Abraham Lincoln statuette and a copy of the Gettysburg Address before giving a "rambling speech touching every topic under the sun."

(Trump continued on his stream of unconsciousness remarks,) "[T]he fakers back there, see the fake news. But they said. They said, Oh,' and they looked and it, you know, they said it never happened but I said, I swear to you it happened.' It did happen, I was man of the year," said Trump before claiming that he touched on the auto industry in his "speech."
