Trump is a fake news purveyor
?Some quotes by our current president:
”…It was the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan.” President Trump won 306 electoral votes in November. In 2012, Barack Obama won 332. In 2008, Obama won 365.
”The murder rate in our country is the highest it’s ever been in 47 years.” In fact, the murder rate in our country has dropped by 42 percent since the early 1990s.
”Here’s a picture of the crowd … the audience was the biggest ever. This audience was massive, look how far back it goes.” In reality, we all saw the photos. And who really cares?
”Thousands of people were brought in on buses from Massachusetts to New Hampshire to vote.” Officials in the office of New Hampshire’s secretary of state, the U.S. Attorney’s office, and the office of the Massachusetts attorney general stated they did not see any evidence of this at all.
”Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ (sic) in Trump Tower just before the victory.” FBI director James Comey testified that neither he nor the Department of Justice has seen any information to support this claim.
Unfortunately, this is just a sampling of what our president has said that has been proven false. Even his own team is now saying we should not take his tweets literally.
Who is the real purveyor of “fake” news in our country? President Donald Trump.
