Former President Donald Trump held a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where about one-third of his remarks were deemed false, obtuse, or lunatic. Some of his claims included suggesting that he won Georgia in the 2020 election because he easily won Alabama and South Carolina, comparing the crowd at his rally to the one at Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech, and asserting that everyone in America agreed on overturning Roe v. Wade. This behavior is consistent with Trump's past actions and rhetoric, and it may hinder his chances in future elections. [Extracted from the article]
