There is no good evidence that he actually won the 2020 election as it has been widely talked about for years, yet it just isn't true. The BBC article below discusses the reasons behind Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, while acknowledging his significant political strengths. Despite securing over 70 million votes and maintaining a strong, loyal base, Trump was defeated by Joe Biden, becoming only the fourth incumbent president in modern history not to win a second term.

I like that you explained why the claim is false and provided data to support your fact-check.

I agree with your claim that there is absolutely no data or evidence that Trump won the 2020 election.  I looked at an article from PBS that helps support this claim and mentions that a large reason for this belief is because of propaganda. The article mentions that many Trump supporters have been influenced my propaganda hindering their abilities to make real claims.

There is zero evidence for Donald Trump having won three times. Trump has falsely claimed that he had won the even though it has been investigated and there has been no widespread fraud found. In the BBC article below they outline five of the main claims that Trump and his team have perpetuated and debunk them. The Blue Sky account that is listed above offers no evidence and the person who posted is a random person while the BBC article is from a trusted and reputable source.

Appreciate the straight to the point dismantling of the false narrative of the post. The link to the BBC's piece is very useful in understanding the false information surrounding Trump's wins and losses since 2016. Fact checking these claims is very important especially given the online social media environment that foments false claims all the time.

This article is from a conservative bias. The article is also providing unreliable sources and using personally opinionated evidence. Not to mention the claim of this fact check just happens to be completely false. As presidential elections only allow the president to run for 2 terms so 3 victories is impossible in the democracy that is America.

This just is not true. Like let's use common sense. When you win a presidential election you become the president. Trump has been president twice. Not 3 times. This claim is just wrong. Nothing else.

Instead of stating opinion in your answer, try providing more details or facts to further prove the claim to be false. For example, citing official election results, constitutional requirements, or relevant historical context would strengthen the position and make the response more credible. Instead of just stating "this claim is wrong," backing it up with clear, verifiable information would make your argument more convincing.

While your logic may be accurate, referencing one of the many articles that debunks the "Trump won three times" propaganda would have been more sufficient. The original user who posted this knows that Trump was not President in 2020, but he claims he won anyway. Citing the white house website doesn't thoroughly debunk what they are claiming, even if their claim is rooted in bias and baseless claims.
