This is the best summary I could come up with:

Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him.

He is set to testify on Monday at his New York civil fraud trial, related to his business dealings in the state, after two of his children took to the witness stand last week.

Earlier in the evening, former state governors Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie urged the party to move past Mr Trump — ahead of the latter's criminal and civil trials — to boost its chances of winning the 2024 election.

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a one-time friend and advisor who has become Mr Trump's most vocal Republican critic, having broken with the ex-TV reality star after the 2020 election, was also booed by the audience and heckled as a "loser" and a "traitor".

Florida will also be the venue for the third presidential debate in Miami on Wednesday, which Mr Trump is again expected to skip, holding his own, alternative event.

The state's governor, Ron DeSantis, who is considered Mr Trump's closest challenger but with a meagre 14 per cent support, failed to land a punch on the man who once endorsed him but has since become a political enemy.

The original article contains 802 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Disclaimer: I am not a Trumper but I also don't like out of context propaganda. Let him lose on his own merits because he will.

Where is the rest of the context on this? To me it sounds like he's saying "we won all 50 states, then we did well in the election". It sounds to me like he might be talking about winning all 50 states in the primaries. Which he did.

Now, the idea that he won the election by 12 million votes is obviously a load of shit. Maybe he's rambling in circles as always and meant to say that he won the primaries by a total of 12 million votes?

Is this literally the first thing you've ever heard Trump say or something?

Have you read the article?

Every time Trump opens his gob and lets out a brain fart, someone has to come out and say it actually wasn't a fart at all but instead the seat leather.

The guy's a fucking narcissistic moron who wants to convince himself by convincing everyone else that he didn't lose to Joe fucking Biden in 2020. Which he did. Bigly, in fact.

It is insane to think that someone won in a 100%, simple as that, that is the context.
