Trump told reporters a story on Wednesday about how Republican Senator and former football coach Tommy Tuberville "coached" Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in college—except they never overlapped at Texas Tech.

Republican President Donald Trump praised GOP Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville–a former college football coach–for having done a great job coaching future NFL star Patrick Mahomes in college.

If only that were true.


The internet immediately called out Trump's false claim given that Tuberville never personally coached the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.

They were both at Texas Tech, but not at the same time.

Tuberville was the head football coach for the Red Raiders at Texas Tech, where Mahomes played until the Chiefs selected him for 10th overall in the 2017 NFL draft.

The would-be Senator left Texas Tech in 2012 to head coach at the University of Cincinnati two years before Mahomes arrived in Lubbock to play with the public research university in 2014.

Trump delivered his fabricated story on Wednesday when he signed an executive order banning transgender women from women's sports.

During the signing, Trump mentioned to reporters:

“And Tommy Tuberville, a great coach."

He continued:

“You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes. He was a great college coach. And I said, ‘How good was he?’ He said, ‘You don’t want to know how good. He made me into a great coach.’ "

"He’s a pretty good quarterback, right? Yeah, he was very good. He’s a good guy, too," Trump added.

Social media users rolled their eyes over yet another one of Trump's pointless lies, proving there is no detail too small to be lied about.







Despite the internet debunking Trump's lie, Tuberville still shared the clip without any attempt at clarifying the truth.

MAGA gonna MAGA.

Tuberville also claimed to have recruited Mahomes to join the Red Raiders, but that was also debunked.

According to AL, the Cover 3 podcast found that Texas Tech was "recruiting another quarterback, D.J. Gillen, and Mahomes wasn't recruited by Texas Tech until a month after Tuberville left the school for the Univesity of Cincinnati and Gillen decommitted."

Mahomes will be making his fifth appearance at the Super Bowl LIX match against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans.

Nevada Police Official Who Taught Policing Classes Fired After He's Caught On Video Calling Cop Gay Slur During Traffic Stop

One of Nevada's top cops—who provided training for law enforcement across the state—gave a master class in how not to act during a traffic stop when he was pulled over for distracted driving in a state vehicle on August 18.

Chief investigator for the office of Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, William Scott Jr.—a retired Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) captain—did almost everything a person shouldn't do: arguing, name dropping, threatening retaliation, getting out of his vehicle to confront the traffic officer, and verbally berating and mocking the officer while using a homophobic slur.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller's cousin, Alisa Kasmer, publicly disowned him in a post she shared over the summer that has resurfaced as President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown—which Miller orchestrated—accelerates.

Kasmer, Miller’s cousin on his father’s side, reminisced about their childhood, describing him as an “awkward, funny, needy middle child who loved to chase attention” but was “always the sweetest with the littlest family members.” She once regarded him as “young, conservative, maybe misguided, but lovable and harmless.”

AOC Hilariously Reacts After Fox News Makes Stephen Miller Watch Her Brutal Takedown Of Him

After New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller during an Instagram livesteam, Fox News played the video for Miller, only for Ocasio-Cortez to laugh at the awkwardness of it all in her follow-up response.

During her livestream, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them," urging her followers to mock MAGA men. She then called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."
