In fact, he was there a day after the vote when the results had already come in, Dale said. <\/p>\n<p>The president also has episodes of \u201cfake history\u201d that he has shared repeatedly throughout his terms in office. <\/p>\n<p>One is a bogus story about President George Washington keeping two side-by-side desks in his study, one for his private business and one for the presidency. <\/p>\n<p>Another is a repeated claim that 38,000 Americans died building the Panama Canal during the early 20th century. In fact, 5,600 people died total building the canal, more than 5,000 of whom were Black workers from the Caribbean who were poorly treated, Dale said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the president making up numbers, making up anecdotes, and making up things he\u2019s asking people to remember even though he made them up,\u201d Dale said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4333\">Trump Turns Nemesis Into a Robot in Deranged Slop Video<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN\u2019s resident fact-checker tore into Donald Trump for repeatedly asking Americans to \u201cremember\u201d things that never actually happened.
