Trump Honored As 'Man Of The Decade' At Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner
- last year
Former President Donald Trump was honored with the “Man of the Decade” award by the Oakland County Republican Party at the 2023 Lincoln Day Dinner in Michigan, The Daily Beast reports.
Trump’s Appearance
Trump served as the keynote speaker at the event, his first campaign appearance in the state, aiming to regain critical ground he lost between 2016 and 2020. Tickets for the event ranged from $250 to $7,500, with a large crowd breaking Trump's previous Michigan attendance record.
Controversy Over the Award
Trump claimed it was his second time receiving the award, but a 2013 press release from the group, the last time he was a keynote speaker at the event, made no reference to it, the Daily Beast noted. Fact-checking sources have noted that Trump’s claims of winning a “Man of the Year” award are dubious.
