Did Trump Really Say That?! (part 7)

This episode is part 7 of examining common claims about something Donald Trump said.

As we examine each trope let's ask ourselves "Did Trump really say that?!"

In part 7 we dissect one hoax from Donald Trump's rally in Nebraska on October 5, 2026 (and his rally in Texas on October 7):
