    Default If you don't like the news, it's fake

    President Trump's great epistemological insight has been welcomed by admirers all over the world.

    In Myanmar, where international observers accuse the military of conducting a genocidal campaign against the Rohingya, a security official said “there is no such thing as Rohingya,” adding “it's fake news.”

    When Amnesty International released a report on prison deaths in Syria, Assad dismissed it with: “we are living in a fake news era".

    The official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, People’s Daily, said: “If the president of the United States claims that his nation’s leading media are a stain on America, then negative news about China should be taken with a grain of salt.”

    Well done, Mr President! The thugs love you.

    He also lifted Duterte and Kim with his sloppy lack of diplomacy.

    Trump is a great example of exactly the type of president we DON'T WANT.

    And of course, we cannot forget his lord and savior, Vladimir Putin.

    He owes his office to Putin.

    Putin was one of the 304 electors that voted for Trump? Which State had him as an elector?

    I don't see Vladimir Putin on the list for either Trump or Hillary.

    Well done, Mr President! The thugs love you.
    No....when the "documented facts" demonstrate the news to be lies based upon made up propaganda...……..its FAKE. Lets just take the top 10 media lies propagated by PROPGANDA.

    1. TRUMP IS NOT A BILLIONAIRE (Forbes documented the fact that Mr. Trump is worth at least 4 billion dollars) 2. Trump is not a successful businessman. The media told the lie that Trump inherited his fortune from his father. Reality: The total net worth of Trumps father? 250 Million. Where did the 3.75 Billion come from? Fairy dust? 3. The media misquoted Mr. Trump and declared that he said, "All Mexicans are rapists". What he actually said in a verbatim quote was, "Illegals coming from Mexico have a number of criminals within their ranks.....some are drug mules, they are importing crime into our sovereign nation, known rapists, known gang members, ….but some are GOOD PEOPLE, they have just broken our immigration laws as their first act in entering our nation.

    4. The media said, TRUMP declared John McCain....not a war hero. What he actually said? "McCain is not a war hero BECAUSE he was pow..." Implying that McCain was a hero for other reasons. He said at least 4 times after that misquote that McCain was a hero.

    5. The media lied about the number of people attending an rally Az. The media said, "Only 2500 people showed up to hear Trump" The local paper (The Phoenix Business Journal) estimated the crowd to be at least 7500.

    6. Hispanics don't like Trump....another media lie. Reality: Trump received a 34% support from Hispanics. And it was the support of Hispanics in the state of Fla., that helped elect Trump to office.

    7. NBC talking head lied and then backed down concerning his statement that Trump lied about his salary while working for NBC as reality tv celebrity. O'Donnell (not the first time he was caught blantly lying about Trump) had to make another statement and admit, "I don't really know how much he was paid while working for NBC....."

    8. Trump was a draft dodger: reality: Trump like many that did not serve and never violated any selective service law. He like many democrat presidents (cough, cough....Blow Job) simply had a student deferment while attending college.

    9. The media propagandizes THE PEOPLEs opinion about our southern border. The media has story after story concerning the peoples unfavorable concern about Trump's border policies. Reality: The people have a 63% favorable opinion on how Trump is securing our southern border.

    10. The Media continually lies about DUST UPS or divisions in the Trump White House....they make up stories from anonymous sources and declare them as truth. On example...a supposed dust up between Trump and Priebus over Trump's personality. All lies. According to Priebus, what he actually said to Trump, "....you can't and should not attempt to change your personality, I UNDERSTAND that.

    These are just a few examples; Another quick example, "Trump plays golf ….as usual, while our troops are in harms way....." Reality: Trump visited our Troops in a combat zone during this particular holiday. This reporter was fired.

    The media continually calls Mr. Trump an anti-Semite.....when his son in law, daughter and grandchild are JEWISH. The media calls Mr. Trump a racist...when he as done more for our black and other minority citizens than the last 5 presidents combined.

    It goes on and on and on...…….they are now attempting to lie and make a crime out of Mr. Trump firing an ambassador, when BHO fired the entire ambassador staff when he was first elected.

    That the Republicans are a seriously patriotic group of Americans is fake news.

    Again: The simple truth. It was DEMOCRATS in the rust belt that elected Donald John Trump, not republicans.

    More fake news from the Trump right.

    It was first time voters who now know they were fooled by Trump who put him over.

    Those 77 thousand for Trump will be almost a million more against him come November.

    Mueller never made that conclusion. There is no way to know this. How would you know whether a person's vote was influenced by a Facebook post from Russia or some American group or an individual?

    There were lot more late deciders in 2016 due to high negative ratings of both candidates and they are most likely to be influenced by late campaigning. But many of those went 3rd party because of the higher percentage of votes won by those candidates (7.8 million, 6%) than normal. In 4 swing states Trump won by less than the number of votes won by Stein-Johnson.

    We could just as well speculate third party voters elected Trump rather than Russian. But, it is all speculation. It mistakenly assumed all third party Stein votes would have gone to Clinton. Or, we could blame it on the lower turnout of black voters who loyally support Democrats.

    It was a razor thin margin, but Trump could have lost two of those swing states and still won the electoral vote. Most votes are already decided since political party is the most important factor in determining the vote.
