The presidential campaign in the United States is in full swing, accompanied by repeatedly propagated falsehoods from one of its leading candidates. Despite its inaccuracy, CNN highlights what Donald Trump persistently repeats during the campaign and conducts professional fact-checking.

Donald Trump consistently claims that years ago he received the title of Man of the Year in the state of Michigan. These false words were spoken during a meeting with voters in Detroit.

CNN pointed out that this is the third time the candidate running for the office of the President of the USA has repeated the same falsehood.

Journalists highlighted the falsehoods repeated by Trump by presenting several indisputable pieces of evidence.

"Nobody has ever been able to find any evidence that he was ever named "Man of the Year" in Michigan before he ran for president. The state itself does not give out a "Man of the Year" award; Trump has never lived in Michigan; and he has never specified who supposedly gave him this award and when", writes CNN.

The actual award Donald Trump received is the title of "Man of the Decade," granted by the Oakland County Republican Party in 2023, but the issue of the supposed "Man of the Year" title has been ongoing for two years.

Back then, Trump asserted that he received the noted title from the Chamber of Commerce in Michigan, but CNN proves that the Chamber of Commerce does not grant such a title. Despite this, Trump stubbornly maintains that he is unsure who supposedly granted him the award and why.

Trump's campaign did not immediately respond to CNN's Sunday request to provide any evidence that he received such an award, reads the portal's site.
