Fact check: Trump falsely claims he 'opened' a factory that has made Apple computers since 2013

Washington President Donald Trump went to Austin, Texas, on Wednesday to tour a factory where Apple's Mac Pro computers have been manufactured for about six years.

Then Trump did the same thing he has done when he has visited other manufacturing facilities: wildly exaggerate his role in the facility's existence."We're seeing the beginning of a very powerful and important plant. And anybody that followed my campaign, I would always talk about Apple -- that I want to see Apple building plants in the United States. And that's what's happening," Trump said while standing beside Apple CEO Tim Cook at the plant.
