Donald Trump is catching heat for getting a Patrick Mahomes factoid completely wrong and then compounding it with a blatant lie.

Trump, now in his second term as United States President, signed an order banning transgenders from participating in women’s sports on Wednesday and would make a speech thereafter.
While speaking, the POTUS pointed out United States Senator Tommy Tuberville in the crowd and mentioned the latter’s time as a college football head coach.
“… And Tommy Tuberville, a great coach. You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes, he was a great college coach,” Trump said.
Trump’s recollection of Tuberville’s time at Texas Tech can’t be accurate, as he left two years before Mahomes even got to the university, taking a job at Cincinnati.

Kliff Kingsbury was actually the head coach under whom Mahomes played for the Red Raiders before going to star in the NFL, but Trump also recalled a conversation he had with Tuberville about the Kansas City Chiefs star.
