CNN's resident fact-checker tears into Donald Trump for repeatedly asking Americans to "remember" things that never actually happened (LINK) — 26 July 2026

— "The president has harbored an irrational hatred of wind turbines ever since the Scottish government approved a wind project off the coast of Aberdeen within sight of his golf course more than a decade ago."

— Last year, he reminded people to "remember" that he was at his golf club in Scotland the day of the Brexit vote and correctly predicted the outcome. In fact, he was there a day after the vote when the results had already come in, Daniel Dale said. The president also has episodes of "fake history" that he has shared repeatedly throughout his terms in office. One is a bogus story about President George Washington keeping two side-by-side desks in his study, one for his private business and one for the presidency. Another is a repeated claim that 38,000 Americans died building the Panama Canal during the early 20th century. In fact, 5,600 people died total building the canal, more than 5,000 of whom were Black workers from the Caribbean who were poorly treated, Dale said.
