Former President Donald Trump recently reiterated his debunked claim of being awarded Michigan's 'Man of the Year' in 2013 during a speech in Detroit. Trump presented an article from the Oakland Press as evidence, which was later corrected to state he was not given such an award. Fact-checkers and former U.S. Rep. Dave Trott have confirmed no such award existed, but Trump was the keynote speaker at a 2013 event. The Oakland County GOP did honor Trump as 'Man of the Decade' in 2023, which may have contributed to the confusion. Despite multiple fact-checks over the years disproving his claim, Trump has continued to assert its validity. The Oakland Press has since updated its article to correct the misinformation Trump cited.
