...but there's no public record of him ever having been to Gaza. The Times of Israel has reported that Trump had never even visited Israel before his presidency. He certainly never was there was president.
And although he was lying, his campaign insisted the claim is true. Trump’s campaign said Monday night that he meant what he said about having been to Gaza in particular – and the campaign insisted the claim is true.
We asked three former Trump officials who worked on Middle East policy whether they know of any proof for the former president’s claim, and the campaign’s claim to CNN, that Trump has been to Gaza itself. The only one who has responded, Trump-appointed former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David Schenker, said in an email: “As far as I know, he’s never traveled there. He did not go in 2017 when he visited Israel. I think this story is probably already over.”As is routine with DonOLD Trump he told a lie, his staff doubled-down on the lie, a couple of people in the media showed mild interest in yet another "Trump Lied" story and tried to find the truth, and within 24-hours it was gone like a fart in the wind.

Donald Trump lied a total of 30,573 times over his 4 year presidency. He's made a career of lying to people.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me over 35,000 times?...

Maybe he wasn't lying, per se. Maybe he was just delusional. He has a history of that. Just one example, he truly believes he is a stable genius. He is neither.
Dementia doesn't help. (Which I strongly suspect he is suffering from.)

yet another "Trump Lied" story and tried to find the truth, and within 24-hours it was gone like a fart in the wind.
But not gone in the mind of the cult members. They will swear up and down that Trump had been to Gaza and is the only person who can bring peace to the Middle East.

Trump lies in order to fire up his base and motivate them to vote. That's all.
He knows he's lying and everyone who is not in the MAGA cult knows he's lying. And many Republicans who are not in the cult know he's lying but they don't care.
