Trump’s speech was full of exaggerated and false talking points

The former president consistently painted a misleading image of his years in office, recalling nonexistent global peace, secure borders and a strong economy

Donald Trump's announcement that he will run for president again in 2024 was met with joy, dismay and mockery across the political spectrum.

Making the widely anticipated announcement at his Florida resort of Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night, Trump delivered remarks that would feel quite familiar to anyone who has watched one of his many campaign rallies. Looking back on America as he left the presidency in early 2021, Trump painted a rosy and often misleading picture of a nation that had established secure borders, a strong economy and global peace.
