US President Donald Trump has continued his streak of false claims - this time trying to take credit for one of New Zealand's achievements, which has angered Kiwis. We settled the Wild West, won two World Wars, landed American astronauts on the Moon - and one day soon, we will plant our flag on Mars!," he wrote. Trump also claimed that the US settled the Wild West, with the phrase sparking criticism for erasing history and Native Americans. Others were upset about Trump's claim that the US won both the World Wars. In World War 2 the US again tried to remain neutral but joined the war in its final years after the attack on Pearl Harbour.
