The US presidents improbable claim came during a roundtable discussion on Venezuela at his Doral golf resort in Florida, in which he largely ignored the issue of the South American country and instead praised his administrations handling of a coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 135,000 Americans.
The Republican Party has grown incredibly from when it was and we have a whole different group of people in the Republican Party, Mr Trump said on Friday.
Like people dont remember, nobody ever heard of it until I came along, nobody remembered it for a long time, or they didnt use it at least, I use it all the time: Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. You know you say that and people say, I didnt know that, but he was Republican, so were doing a great job.
