PRESIDENT Trump last night made a number of claims to the American people of dubious veracity. Here we fact-check them one by one.
He has a dagger that can reverse time
The president claimed to own a dagger which can reverse time which he would use ‘to set this whole thing right’. Such a dagger is not believed to exist and experts say even if Trump were to go back 48 hours there would still be no path to election.
All votes for Joe Biden are illegal
The president’s threat to track down and exile from the United States anyone found to be voting for ‘the illegal candidate’ Joe Biden is without legal basis and cannot be acted on.
Joe Biden is dead
The president’s claim that former vice-president Joe Biden ‘has been dead for months’ has been fact-checked and proven to be false.
Joe Biden is Skeletor
The president’s claim that Biden is Skeletor, ruler of Snake Mountain and enemy of Eternia who is determined to claim the powers of Castle Grayskull, is clearly not true because he does not have Skeletor’s flamboyant dress sense.
He is Batman
The president’s surprising claim to be Batman, when He-Man would have made more sense given the previous claim, is without foundation. There is no cave under Mar-a-Lago, there is no Batmobile and the adventure Trump described was an episode of the Batman TV show broadcast in November 1967.
A network of Democrat and Hollywood paedophiles consume children’s adrenalin glands to become immortal
The president was referencing the QAnon theory which claims he is a great hero secretly working to rid the world of evil. This is so obviously false it’s painful to say so.
He was given the spaceship from Area 51 by a grateful nation
This is untrue and simply a desperate attempt to loot America’s treasures. The spaceship from Area 51, along with the bodies of several autopsied aliens and the lone survivor, belong to the people of the United States.
He is not a loser
Cannot be definitively proven until vote-counting is complete, but a 90 per cent chance that he absolutely is.
