Trump said he'd defeat a Washington/Lincoln ticket and the WaPo fact-check machine is ON IT

President Biden, Kamala Harris and others in DC tell some serious whoppers every single day all while the “fact-checkers” often find ways to cover for them. However, when it comes to Donald Trump, no remark goes unchecked… and we mean NO remark.

First, here’s what Trump said during a recent speech:

The Washington Post’s Philip Bump was immediately on the job:

Thankfully the media fact-checkers are around to clear up stuff like this!

So much for any hopes for a big Trump matchup against George Washington and Abraham Lincoln…

Trump claimed that, shortly before the pandemic began, a pollster came into the Oval Office.

“He said, ‘Sir’,” Trump began — using his infamous tell for a story he’s making up — “‘if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came alive from the dead and they formed a president-vice president team, you would beat them by 40 percent.’ That’s how good our numbers were!”

Nope. Even then, before the pandemic and before the aftermath of his election loss, Trump would have lost. Badly.
[…]
Again, I am aware that Trump was simply telling a story for effect. But this little thought exercise does prompt some useful reminders. For however popular Trump thinks he is and for however popular he wants others to think he is, he remains not-terribly-popular. If he ran against actually popular former presidents, he would lose.

Well at least we got that cleared up.

Now, if a Democrat said the same thing you just know the “fact-checkers” would find a way to make it true:

Can the “fact-checkers” maybe now focus on the Biden White House’s gaslighting about the economy and so many other issues? Probably not.
