I wonder if among the brown-nosers and sycophants in Trump's entourage if there are any of them who will say, "boss, you are misinformed on that issue". If in the debate Trump makes any of his oft-debunked claims, I wonder if Dana Bash or Jake Tapper will fact check him.
In a Fox News interview earlier this month, Trump attacked electric tanks.
“They don’t go far and they have to pull a wagon because the wagon, the battery, is so big that the Army tanks will have a wagon like a child,” Trump said. “He’s pulling a wagon.
Former President Donald Trump has a new talking point in his rally speeches, claiming that the Biden administration is moving the military to all-electric-powered tanks. For Trump, the attack line is a trifecta: He’s making President Joe Biden seem weak on defense and the military seem “woke,” while mocking Biden’s green energy efforts.
It’s also false. The military currently has no plans for all-electric tanks.
“And now we are a nation that wants to make our great Army tanks all-electric so that despite the fact that they will not be able to go very far, fewer pollutants will be released into the air of the territory that we are trying to conquer,” Trump said at a campaign rally near Miami on Nov. 8 — the same night as a GOP presidential primary debate that he did not attend.
