LOADINGERROR LOADING

Donald Trump is all the time spewing falsehoods, however his newest accusation in opposition to New York Attorney General Letitia James is particularly ludicrous ― and traditionally inaccurate.

The former president was talking outdoors of his civil fraud trial on Wednesday when he attacked James, who’s at present suing him, three of his children and the Trump Organization for trying to safe higher financial institution loans, insurance coverage charges and tax advantages by knowingly mendacity in regards to the worth of firm property.

But his assault failed in at the very least one side: historic accuracy.

You see, Trump blamed James for making Exxon determine to maneuver its headquarters from the Empire State to Texas.

“She should be criminally liable for this, she did this to Exxon,” Trump mentioned. “And they drove Exxon out of New York…They’re now living in Texas.”

Problem is: Exxon introduced it was shifting from New York in October… in 1989 ― 34 years in the past, and 29 years earlier than James was elected to the New York lawyer basic place.

You can see the video beneath.

As typically occurs when Trump makes a extremely silly, simply checked, undeniably bogus declare, he impressed a lot mockery on X, previously Twitter.

But one particular person was keen to concoct a state of affairs the place Trump would possibly really be right.
