During a press conference at the NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium on Thursday, President Trump repeated the false claim that even former President Ronald Reagan didn’t win Wisconsin in his landslide 49-state victory in the 1984 election. In reality, the only state Reagan lost in 1984 was Minnesota. Trump made the same inaccurate statement at his rally last week in Montana and during an event in Wisconsin the week before.
