    Pretty minor stuff in there. Absolutely zilch compared to the fake stories, conspiracy theories & outright lies Trump regularly comes out with.

    But that's really beside the point. Pretty pathetic day when the President of the United States engages in this stuff. Hard to really set the bar lower than this.

    9) CNN report that former FBI Director James Comey would dispute President Trump’s claim he was told he was not under investigation

    10) The New York Times report that the Trump administration had hidden a climate-change report

    11) In Trump’s words, "‘RUSSIA COLLUSION!’ Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!”
    Is this really his list, he really released it? What a childish mentality, it’s like the lists we use to do in grade school.

    Is anyone here old enough to remember when newsmen had standards?

    It was nice being able to tune in to the evening news and get the true story from men like Walter Cronkite. Sadly those days are long gone.

    And you continue to think this is legitimate rebuttal.

    economists like krugman saying the economy will crash is a big deal. If people believe him that leads to lower consumer spending which could actually lead to a crash.
