President Trump's half-hour, impromptu interview on Fox & Friends on last Friday sent the media’s fact checkers into overdrive this weekend. Everyone from PolitiFact to the New York Times to virtually all the Sunday morning national talk shows piled on, calling Trump a liar.
But the media can’t stop lying about what the president says. Sometimes it can’t distinguish a legitimate point of disagreement from a lie. It is no wonder that people have tuned out much of the constant attacks on Trump.
Just take the hyperbole on Sunday’s Meet the Press. Before playing a compilation of clips from Trump’s interview, moderator Chuck Todd exclaimed: “Let me put together this list of just outright misstatements, lies.” After showing the clips, Todd felt it necessary to emphasize yet again that everyone knew the statements were false: “Every single one of those things is absolutely not true.”
The show had on two liberal and two conservative panelists, but it wasn’t real balance as the conservatives were both “never-Trumpers.” The guests debated whether Trump was simply lying or whether he lacked the "mental capacity" to know that he was spewing falsehoods.
So let’s review the first three statements that Todd claims are false. Then we'll look at the one that he says is the “most ridiculous” of all.
Trump: “Well, no, there is no trade war.”
Whatever one thinks of tariffs or Trump’s negotiating strategy, the president’s tariff threats are more of a tiny skirmish than a full-blown “trade war.” In 2017, the US imported goods worth about $3.9 trillion. Only about $29 billion of those imports were in steel, and the aluminum imports that will face tariffs were $14 billion. This amounts to $43 billion in imports of these two goods. $18 billion (41 percent) of that total came from China.....

It’s like they all have Tourettes.
I gave up watching any TV news before the election.
I’ll bet the newspapers of the Confederacy didn’t go after Lincoln this hard.
Trump needs to declare martial law , take control of the military , stand up a vast militia of his true supporters and crush the Left in this country .Really crush it ....no remainder . America will never survive with this level of treason ,rampant and on the loose .
[The media just can’t WON’T stop lying about PRESIDENT Trump]
The media just WON’T stop lying, ESPECIALLY about PRESIDENT Trump.
“It’s like they all have Tourettes.”
In a way, but it’s worse than that. People with Tourette’s can’t help it. The MSM “people” CAN help it and choose to behave abysmally. Visit any kindergarten class and the kids’ behavior will be more polite and respectful.
Demon possession isn’t pretty.
I would volunteer for that militia immediately.
Left wing hack, Bill Ayers told Obama that at least 20 million conservatives would need to be killed, in order for the socialist to take over America.
They want to kill us. So I say right back at them. Let’s get this over with.
Think local. Act local. I have my list. Don’t you have yours?
But since I've been exposed to the cult of Barack Hussein Obama, and seen them in action during his fraudulent reign and especially since then......
