Since 2016, President Donald Trump has claimed that he received Michigan's "Man of the Year" award, and no one in Michigan seems to know what he is talking about. Trump has repeated the claim at least six times since first bringing it up at a 2016 campaign rally in Sterling Heights, according to CNN.
