Donald Trump Just Made a Ridiculous Claim About the Great Lakes at a Michigan Rally, and Now This Lake Superior Twitter Account Is Expertly Trolling Him

Owned by a lake.

President Donald Trump made a bizarre claim about the Great Lakes during a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan Thursday night and, surprise, it was not true.

"I support the Great Lakes. Always have," Trump proclaimed. "They're beautiful. They're big. Very deep. Record deepness. Right?"


Wrong.

"And I'm going to get, in honor of my friends, full funding of $300 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative."

The president's most recent budget proposal slashes funding for the program by 90 percent.

Watch below:

In fact, Trump was so wrong that Lake Superior had to step in and correct him.

"I hate to admit this, but... no, not record deepness. Not in the world or in the United States."

With a surface area of 31,700 miles, Superior is the world's largest freshwater reserve - but not the deepest, bottoming out at 1,332 feet.

Not that it matters to Trump.

Trump's ability to botch facts is simply stunning.

He just makes stuff up.

And his supporters cheer, unconcerned about the truth.

This timeline...

Oregon's Crater Lake - with a depth of 1,949 feet - is the deepest in the United States.

Earth's deepest lake is Lake Baikal, reaching down 5,387 feet. It is located in Russia.

The irony.

The ad garnered attention after it was shared by the social media account Libs of TikTok—run by the anti-LGBTQ+ conservative Chaya Raichik—which described the ad as an example of "another woke company trying to erase women."

Alyssa Milano Shares Poignant Tribute To 'TV Husband' Julian McMahon After His Death At 56

Actor Julian McMahon lost his battle with cancer at the age of 56 earlier this week, and to say that the Charmed, Nip/Tuck, and Fantastic Four actor touched many lives would be an understatement.

When the news of McMahon's passing went public, his Charmed costar and "TV wife" Alyssa Milano came forward and expressed her sadness and condolences on Instagram. The pair were a favorite couple on Charmed, and it was clear from her post that their care for each other extended beyond the screen.

People Who Slept With Their Best Friend Describe The Aftermath

When two people have a deep and meaningful friendship, the question might eventually come up of whether or not they could be more. Agreeing that their friendship might deserve more, they might try to date or at least explore physical intimacy.
