Trump Boasts That He 'Stopped' Totally Made-Up Wars In Bizarre Rally Moment

The GOP nominee dropped a nonsensical claim before rambling about McDonald's and Google in Georgia.
Donald Trump boasted that his supporters had “no idea” what he did in the White House before launching into a nonsensical claim involving one of America’s NATO allies at a Georgia campaign rally on Wednesday.
“I stopped wars with France,” said the GOP nominee as some supporters applauded him in the crowd.
He continued, “France. You know the France story? They were gonna charge us, think of this, 25% to all Amer — I have to protect American companies whether we like ’em or not, some of ’em I didn’t even like.”
The former president may have been referring to France’s 2019 plans to charge U.S. tech giants a 3% tax on revenue from digital services in its country.
Trump, at an Iowa rally earlier this year, claimed that France wanted to impose a “big” tax on American products when he was in office so he threatened French President Emmanuel Macron with a 100% tax on “every bottle” of Champagne and wine coming into the U.S. from his country.
