Just when you thought Donald Trump couldn’t top his previous election remarks, he’s gone a step further—this time claiming he won every single state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Yes, all 50 of them. The bold statement quickly lit up headlines, social media, and political circles, adding to his long-running series of controversial claims about U.S. elections.

During a public appearance on April 10, the former president, now 78, confidently declared: “To me, they’re all the same. I love them all, and I think I probably won them all.” According to Indy100, Trump suggested he didn’t just win the majority he won the entire country. And while he did secure 312 electoral votes against Kamala Harris’s 226, that’s still far short of Barack Obama’s 2008 total of 365.
This isn’t the first time Trump has bent the truth to fit his narrative. His track record of making misleading statements about election results goes back years. After losing the 2020 race, he promoted unfounded claims of voter fraud a strategy he continued during and after the 2024 election as well.
Pennsylvania was one of Trump’s key targets again. He told supporters, “We ended up winning Pennsylvania in a landslide.” But the numbers don’t back that up. Trump’s win in the state was narrow—less than two percentage points a far cry from the sweeping victory he claimed.
In another eyebrow-raising moment, Trump echoed a debunked story that Venezuela “emptied their prisons” into the U.S., despite no credible evidence supporting that assertion. Quite the opposite, in fact. A federal judge recently blocked an attempt by the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans—an action that could have placed hundreds of thousands at risk of deportation.

Despite ongoing criticism and backlash, Trump remains as defiant as ever. Even with markets reacting nervously to his proposed tariff hikes, he pivoted to another unexpected policy: reviving a previously mocked initiative to increase water pressure in American homes. “Make showers great again,” he promised.
But perhaps the most unexpected comment came during a chat with NBC News, where Trump teased the idea of seeking a third term. “More people have asked me to do a third term than ever,” he claimed. “Which in a way is a fourth term, because the 2020 election was totally rigged.” While he added that he wasn’t ready to talk about it “right now,” he also didn’t close the door completely.
The Constitution, however, does at least for now. The 22nd Amendment restricts U.S. presidents to two terms. But Trump’s comment has sparked speculation, especially as insiders and health watchers point out signs of possible physical decline, including moments of slurred speech and forgetfulness.
Whether Trump truly believes he can bend both reality and the Constitution remains uncertain. But one thing’s for sure: his election claims continue to make headlines—and stir debate across the country.
