There was a time when Donald Trump’s speeches would leave people shocked and speechless. His words had that kind of impact. But things have changed. Over the years, people have gotten used to his bold and often controversial remarks—especially when it comes to the Biden administration and election issues.
Trump has made a habit of blaming President Biden for what he sees as the country losing its identity, promising that he alone can restore it. Many critics have accused Trump of lying throughout his political career, including during his first term as president. Major media outlets have also pointed out several false claims he has made.
But even by his standards, his most recent statement might be the most unbelievable yet. On Thursday, April 10, during a public appearance, the 78-year-old talked about the 2024 election results. What he said shocked many. Trump claimed that he won all 50 U.S. states in the election—a claim many are calling completely ridiculous.
So, is Trump lying to shape the narrative in his favor?
According to a report by Indy100, Trump said, “To me, they’re all the same. I love them all, and I think I probably won them all. They say I won most of them, but I think I won them all.” The truth is, while he did win the 2024 election with 312 electoral votes against Kamala Harris’s 226, his claim of sweeping all 50 states is far from reality. Though it was a better result for him compared to 2020, he still didn’t come close to Barack Obama’s 365 electoral votes from 2008.
Trump has a long record of spreading false information about election outcomes. After the 2020 election, he repeatedly pushed baseless claims of voter fraud. He has continued to do the same in both the 2024 and 2025 elections.
One of his favorite targets has been Pennsylvania. He recently claimed, “We ended up winning Pennsylvania in a landslide.” That’s simply not true. In reality, he won the state by less than two percentage points, making it a close race, not a landslide.
On another note, despite global financial markets reacting poorly to Trump’s newly announced tariff list, he’s focused on other unexpected issues. He’s even pushing for a new executive order about water pressure in showers, promising to “make showers great again.” It’s just one example of how Trump often goes his own way, regardless of how odd or out of place his actions may seem.
In another questionable claim, Trump suggested that Venezuela had emptied its prisons and sent criminals into the U.S. This has been widely disputed, with no evidence to support it. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. A federal judge recently blocked the Trump administration from ending a program that protects Venezuelans from deportation. This program, known as Temporary Protected Status (TPS), was helping about 600,000 Venezuelans, and ending it could have left around 350,000 people at risk of being deported. The order to terminate the program had come from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in February 2025.
Despite facing backlash on many fronts, Trump has expressed interest in running for a third term. Shocking, right? In an interview with NBC News at Mar-a-Lago, he said, “I’ve had more people ask me to have a third term, which in a way is a fourth term because the 2020 election was totally rigged.” He later said he wasn’t ready to talk more about it, saying there’s still a long way to go in the current administration. But importantly, he didn’t completely deny the idea either.
Some reports suggest he might not live long enough to change the Constitution to make a third term possible. At 79, Trump has shown some signs of aging, like slurred speech and forgetting words during public appearances.
Whether Trump is seriously planning to run again remains uncertain. But even if there were changes to the 22nd Amendment—which currently prevents anyone from being elected president more than twice—his constant false claims about winning elections are unlikely to stop any time soon.
