Trump touts imaginary “Michigan Man of the Year” award while under fire for his dishonesty about Michigan and voting

All kidding aside, we are seriously worried about Trump’s declining mental state.

So Trump, who has consistently trailed in Michigan polls (and in most polls) against Joe Biden, was asked if he is concerned about the message he is sending by threatening Michigan as it is going through a flooding emergency.

Trump’s response: “No, I’m not. I’m — no, I’m not concerned at all. We’re going to help Michigan. Michigan is a great state. I’ve gotten tremendous business to go to Michigan. Michigan is one of the reasons I ran. I was honored in Michigan long before I thought about — I was honored as the Man of the Year in Michigan at a big event.” He continued: “I remember so well.” He claimed this happened at an event about five or six years before he thought about running for president, where he gave a speech decrying the loss of Michigan auto business to Mexico. “And I posed many questions to Michigan that night, and I think it think made quite an impression,” he said.

Oh, yes, quite the impression.

This is not the first time he’s bragged about this. There IS NO AWARD.

Trump begins his speech at a Ford plant by boasting about winning the “man of the year” award in Michigan. There’s just one problem — he totally made it up. There is no such award. https://t.co/yhgNkparlk pic.twitter.com/d6n9YrqgpQ

Asked about the message he’s sending by threatening funding to Michigan while it’s going through a flooding emergency, Trump repeated what is possibly my #1 favorite Trump lie out of all the thousands of Trump lies: “I was honored as the Man of the Year in Michigan.”

So what is this “award” he keeps bringing up?

“Trott said Trump delivered a “rambling speech touching every topic under the sun.””

Trump thinks he won Michigan’s ‘man of the year’ award, but a former Republican congressman says it was actually just a framed copy of the Gettysburg Address https://t.co/y4OCPDKA8I

How embarrassing. Sure it sits right next to his “Noble Prize.”

BREAKING: Trump just lied again, and made a bogus claim that he was once Michigan’s “Man of the Year.”

Yeah, OK. Maybe Michigan’s “Most Hated Man of the Year.”

Trump’s trailing Biden in Michigan by 6 points. #TrumpDeathToll95K
