During a visit to the battleground state of North Carolina on Monday, former President Donald Trump claimed that his daughter Tiffany, graduated first in her class from Georgetown Law School.
“She was a great student, and she went to a fantastic law school, graduated No. 1 in her class,” Trump said at the event in Concord, North Carolina.The issue with Trumps assertion is that Georgetown Law School says on their website that they do not rank graduating students, such as other schools do. She is also not listed as an honors graduate, according to NBC News. NBC News reached out to a Trump campaign spokesman for comment but has not heard back, the outlet reported.

The former president was in North Carolina on Monday to survey hurricane damage caused by Helene and continued his false claims about federal recovery and relief efforts.
Trump blasted federal emergency responders whose work has been stymied by armed harassment and a deluge of misinformation, but he said he was not concerned that the aftermath of Hurricane Helene would affect election results in the battleground state.
Trump was asked whether it was helpful to criticize hurricane relief workers after the Federal Emergency Management Agency recently paused work in the area because of reports they could be targeted by militia. He responded by again assailing the agency and repeating the falsehood that the response was hampered because FEMA spent its budget helping people who crossed the border illegally. That claim was debunked weeks ago by U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., who stood behind Trump as he spoke.
Well, I think you have to let people know how theyre doing, Trump told reporters in Swannanoa, outside Asheville. If they were doing a great job, I think we should say that, too, because I think they should be rewarded. … If theyre doing a poor job, were supposed to not say it?”
Trumps campaign and that of his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, are ramping up their campaigns in the final two weeks before Election Day.

Trump had three stops in North Carolina on Monday. After the Asheville area, he held a rally across the state in Greenville and spoke at a faith leaders event in Concord, where he appealed to Christian voters by repeating his criticism of transgender athletes playing on womens sports teams and his proposal to conduct a large-scale deportation operation. Trump said that during his administration, he fought for Christians like no president has ever fought before.
Harris on Monday focused her campaigning efforts on the blue wall, traveling to suburban Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. She held a series of conversations with Republican Liz Cheney moderated by GOP strategist Sarah Longwell, publisher of the Bulwark, a commentary site for anti-Trump conservatives, and conservative radio host Charlie Sykes. Trump won those three states in 2016 and lost them in 2020, and Harris could all but lock up the presidency if she swept them.
