While this is not only true it has happened more the just twice during two campaign speeches. Trump has been fact checked many times even on live TV. While many poeple take what he says at face value other news sites decided to dig deeper and heres what the found. NPR found 162 lies and distortions during a news conference with Trump in August and they listed them in cronological order in their article (https://www.npr.org/2024/08/11/nx-s1-5070566/trump-news-conference). The Washington Post also Decided to look at speeches made by Trump from 2011 and his false claims about president Barrack Obamas Birth to February 2024 and counted 30,573 "false or misleading claims(https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/30/lying-politicians-credibility-score-trump-harris/). While these links don't cover the two campaign speeches made in pennsylvania the CNN link above does and these back it up by showing that it is not the first time news sources have found lies or misleading statements and claims made by Trump.
