In an apparently unscripted rant on Thursday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump falsely claimed "the presidency was taken away from Joe Biden."
Trump began a press conference at Mar-a-Lago with unexpected remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, calling her "nasty."
"He appointed her, asked her to serve as vice president," he recalled. "Well, I don't know if he's happy about that decision right now."
"The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden," he continued. "And I'm no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took the presidency away, and people were saying he lost after the debate."
Trump insisted his claims were true "because I know a lot of people on the other side, believe it or not."

"So I'm not complaining," he insisted. "Just take it away from him like he was a child, and he's a very angry man right now."
In fact, the presidency was not "taken away" from Biden. He stepped aside from the campaign but continues serving his full term.
