Trump Incorrectly Claims Uncle Invented Radar During Speech
On October 24, President Donald Trump claimed his uncle, John Trump, invented radar during early voting in Palm Beach, Florida. Social media quickly fact-checked this, clarifying that John G. Trump contributed to WWII radar development at MIT but did not invent it. Radar was originally invented by Scottish physicist Sir Robert Watson-Watt in 1935. Trump's comments were widely shared online.
