The post, made 2026-10-15, refers to Trump's 2024 Arizona win, which the sources show was by 5.5 points (R+5.5), not the largest margin ever.
What was said
… I think it's a cute story, but there's great generosity in the world, because you know what? We're the hottest country anywhere in the world now. We're the hottest country anywhere in the world. We won all seven swing states. We won Arizona by the largest margin. Think of it. We won Arizona in a landslide, the largest number of votes ever gotten. Just give some of them to Andy, please. Would you give some of those votes to Andy? I'm here to help him and to help some of your great congressmen. A lot of them don't need too much help. They're warriors. Thank you, fellas. …

Contradicts. The 1960-2024 Arizona results table shows Reagan winning in 1980 by R+32.4, far larger than Trump's 2024 margin of R+5.5, so 2024 was not the largest margin in the state's recorded history.[2]
Supports. Trump carried Arizona in 2024 by about 5.5 points, with 1,770,242 votes (52.2%) against Harris's 1,582,860, which matches the margin the claimant described.[2][3][4]
Context. The 2026 Arizona election had not been counted at the time of the sources (0% counted), so the 'most recent election' at the time of the post was 2024, and no source supports a 2026 result.[1][5]
Context. The claim's wording comes from a rally transcript by the claimant. The passage itself is not evidence, and the claim's 'largest number of votes' element is not fully testable across all years because the sources cover only some elections.[6][7]
