President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that African Americans are so delighted with his attacks on the city of Baltimore and US congressman Elijah Cummings, an African American, that they are calling him at the White House in large numbers to thank him.
He also claimed that African Americans are generally happy with his performance as president.
"What I've done for African Americans, no president, I would say, has done. Now, I'll say this: they are so happy, because I get the calls," he told reporters as he left for a speech in Virginia that was boycotted by black state lawmakers. "They are so happy at what I've been able to do in Baltimore and other Democratic-run, corrupt cities."
He continued later: "The African American people have been calling the White House. They have never been so happy as what a president has done. Not only the lowest unemployment in history for African Americans, not only opportunity zones for, really, the biggest beneficiary the inner city, and not only criminal justice reform. But they're so happy that I pointed out the corrupt politics of Baltimore. It's filthy dirty. It's so horrible. And they are happy as hell."
Since the controversy over Trump's comments about Baltimore and Cummings is too new to be captured by most of the available polling data, we can't definitively fact-check Trump's claim about African Americans' views on these remarks -- though it's worth noting that Trump has a history of inventing nonexistent phone calls and making dubious claims about people expressing gratitude him in private conversations. We can, however, definitively fact-check his claim that African Americans are generally pleased with his performance. They are not.
Facts First: African Americans are overwhelmingly unhappy with Trump's job performance, polls have consistently shown.

CNN is “fact checking”? Am I in Fantasy Land?
CNN and “fact check” should never be used in the same sentence. CNN wouldn’t know a fact if one bit them on the arse.
Just to understand Google’s algorithms, When you type in:
THIS HEADLINE is AT THE VERY TOP OF THEIR PAGE. And I was not searching for anything even. I just went to their news page, and there it was — AT THE VERY FRONT AND TOP OF THEIR NEWS PAGE.
CNN fact check. Bwahahahaha

In order for propaganda to work, CNN should be honest most of the time and slip in a little propaganda every so often.
However that is not what they do. It is 24/7 propaganda so even if this story is true (which I doubt) I would not believe them.
CNN you need credibility before you begin fact checking others.
I had one of those maps but when I got to the spot there was no ‘X’ on the ground. Did someone take it?
