President Donald Trump lied this weekend about stopping a nonexistent conflict between Cambodia and Armenia, two countries that are 4,150 miles apart.

Trump made his comment while speaking to the American Cornerstone Institute’s Founders’ Dinner in Virginia on Saturday, while trying to list off his successes in brokering peacemaking agreements. He said, “We settled that war that was not settleable, as the expression goes… Cambodia and Armenia, that was just starting, and it was a bad one – think of that.”

This isn’t the first time that Trump and his administration have made up a completely fictitious battle in order to elevate their reputation.

In January 2017, Trump‘s anti-LGBTQ+ then-advisor Kellyanne Conway cited the non-existent “Bowling Green Massacre” as a justification for Trump‘s travel ban against seven Muslim-majority countries. Conway later said that she had misspoke about a 2011 arrest of two Iraqi refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on charges of providing material support to al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. Such non-violent arrests are never referred to as “massacres.”

Conway was also infamous for referring to the administration’s falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and unfounded claims as “alternative facts.”
