'There were mass graves in New York': Trump mocked for saying US 'had greatest four years' under his presidency

DURHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE: Donald Trump is not ready to refrain from bragging about his term in the Oval Office.

During a campaign rally in Durham, New Hampshire, on December 16, the former President boasted, "For four years. I was your President, and you had the greatest four years that you've ever had."

After intensifying his 2024 presidential campaign efforts in Iowa for the Republican caucuses on January 15, 2024, Trump shifted focus to New Hampshire, marking his return after over a month to accelerate campaigning, according to a New York Times report.

In the same event, the White House hopeful quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin and labeled President Biden as a "threat to democracy."

Donald Trump's boasting campaign speech in New Hampshire

The former President, who comparatively had a lighter campaign schedule than his fellow GOP contenders, is keeping up his hope in New Hampshire as the state gave him a decisive first primary victory in 2016 according to the voting share reported by NBC News.

Trump told the cheering crowd why he was the best choice for the next president. "New Hampshire wants a president who will never betray you, who will never forsake you, and who will never sell you out," he said.

Reminding the crowd about his first term from 2017 to 2021, he added, "You're not going to be sold out and you know that."

Trump had previously bragged the same during a rally at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on December 2, where he claimed that he was "one of the greatest presidencies" in America's history, and even his opponent admitted that he "did very well."

"2020 was the worst year in the history of the United States since 1865," added another user.

A user quipped, "Someone wake this man from his slumber."

"A million Americans who died from Covid probably would have begged to differ," stated one user.

Another noted, "Well, except for the people who died of COVID on his watch. They didn't have such a great four years. Among others."

"More people died on his watch than during the civil war. Yup, I remember it being just amazing," said another user.

One user recalling the last year of Trump's term said, "Lockdowns, waiting in line to buy toilet paper, major supply chain disruptions, refrigerated trailers used as temporary morgues…ah yes, the good ole days."
