    Default FAKE NEWS: Pro-Trump ‘War Hero’ Featured on Fox News Never Actually Served in War

    A military veteran glowingly featured by Fox News earlier this month for his pro-Trump artwork and his record as a “war hero” admitted Thursday to lying about his military service. John Garofalo, 72, was featured in a Bryan Llenas report as having served seven years as a Navy SEAL, receiving 22 commendations, including two Purple Hearts, and having been listed twice as missing in action during Vietnam. Garofalo, who personally carved a presidential seal to gift President Trump, is a “tough, tough man,” Llenas said, after calling him a “hero” during an interview. Fox News anchor Eric Shawn later remarked: “God bless John Garofalo. We certainly hope maybe the president is listening.” However, when the Navy Times reached out to Garofalo on Thursday, he confessed to having lied about his military service. “What I did I’m ashamed of, and I didn’t mean to cause so much disgrace to the SEALs,” he told the Times. Fox News has since removed the video, which went viral on Facebook, and issued a statement apologizing for the error.

    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

    President Trump Has a Fake TIME Magazine Cover with His Face on It Hanging in His Golf Clubs
    The faux cover, dated March 1, 2009, includes a big headline saying: “Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!”
    By Tierney McAfee June 27, 2017 07:37 PM

    For a man who spends much of his time ranting about fake news, President Donald Trump‘s properties sure have a lot of fake TIME Magazine covers with his face on them.
    In an article published Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that a framed copy of a cover purporting to be from PEOPLE’s sister publication was hung up in at least four of Trump’s golf clubs around the world.
    The faux cover, dated March 1, 2009, includes a big headline saying: “Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!” and another in all caps that reads: “TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS . . . EVEN TV!”
    A Washington Post reporter visiting one of Trump’s properties spotted the cover — and its telltale mistakes, including the placement of the headlines and the fact that it has two exclamation points.
    TIME and PEOPLE’s parent company, Time Inc., has gone on record confirming the cover was not published in March 2009 — or ever.
    A White House spokesperson referred questions about the cover to the Trump Organization, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told The Washington Post: “We couldn’t comment on the decor at Trump Golf clubs one way or another.”
    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
