53. No. He did say it. Unless you think he'd post a deep fake on his own government site.

PAMELA BROWN: And it is true that the polls show in terms of the tactics used that the majority, they don't like the tactics being used. But in terms of the border, securing the border, can you give President Trump any credit for securing the border? Because as you know, that was a big issue under the Biden administration when you had record border crossings and those border crossings have gone down dramatically. Can you give him credit for that?

LEADER JEFFRIES: The border is secure, that's a good thing. It's happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it. Of course, he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration or beyond, there's a lot that is left to be desired.
