Trump's Dubious Michigan 'Man of the Year' Boast - FactCheck.org

President Donald Trump has claimed no fewer than seven times over the past three years — including at a recent rally in New Hampshire — that he won Michigan’s “man of the year” award. But there’s no evidence that he did.

We scoured news archives and searched the internet, and came up empty. Other media outlets have looked into it too, with a similar lack of results. And Trump’s campaign isn’t commenting.

There's an interesting dynamic going on with Trump's random pronouncements - legions of pro-Trumpers are inventing backstories that (they say) make them true. It's actually pretty funny, you should read some of them. Full on 1984.

I lived in Michigan my first 40 years of life, including about 15 in the Lansing area.

Never heard the state gave a “Man of the Year” designation.

Anyone in possession of even fraction of his marbles, would realize that such a claim would be fact-checked, and expose the claimant as a liar.

He seems to have very little awareness of consequences.

For his base, anyone who points out Trump is making things up is the liar.
