Fake news is not Trumps phrase. He uses it, but it didn’t originate with him.

Yes, but since he’s made it his own... the fake poll was targeted at him.

True, i remember it well.

The phrase Fake News was started by the actual Fake News, to explain why people rejected Hitlery.
When people heard it, the truth in it resonated the way truth always does.

It was then adopted on mass by the public but redirected right back at them.

I think thats a big part of why they hate it so much, i know its why i love repeating it so.
