Trump has been on a Friday rant against Democratic candidate for governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo after he made a statement that America was “never that great.” Trump has beaten that statement into the ground although his outrage takes the quote completely out of context.

There is more than one false or misleading claim in Trump’s tweets. First, the full quote was:

‘We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great. We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged. We will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping of women, 51% of our population, is gone, and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution.’

Trump has also repeatedly insisted that Cuomo, who would follow his father into the governorship, will be leading the state with the highest tax rate in the country. The state of New York does have the highest tax rate, but New York City has the 14th best economy in the country. New York is neither in the top nor the bottom 10 for businesses. Trump should be aware of this since New York is his home state and he has businesses there.

Cuomo is also not in any way losing an election Cynthia Nixon, the former co-star of Sex and the City. Currently, he leads her in the polls by between 31 and 36 percent, something Trump certainly never did during the 2016 elections.

It seems Twitter wasn’t fooled by Trump’s claims, either. See some of their comments below:
