President Donald Trump‘s recent claim that Maryland Governor Wes Moore praised him as “the greatest president of my lifetime” has been thoroughly debunked, adding to growing concerns about the president’s relationship with reality. The alleged conversation, which Trump says occurred at the Army-Navy game in December 2024, never happened, according to Moore, and contradicts available video evidence.
During an Oval Office event on Monday, Trump told reporters that Moore approached him at the football game, hugged him, and delivered glowing praise. “He said, ‘Sir, you’re the greatest president in my lifetime,'” Trump claimed. “I said, ‘It’s really nice that you say that. I’d love you to say it publicly, but I don’t think you can do that.'”
