Trump isn’t lying—cut it out.
Was that the basis of the rumor he was talking about—or is it from somewhere else?
I don’t know and I don’t think you do either.
Even if the rumor is false, Trump’s not lying, because he didn’t declare it to be anything more than a rumor.
Trump re-tweeted the article, and then tweeted himself that there was word that Ford is cancelling it plans. Considering that there is no other such rumor going around the Internet, it’s pretty safe to assume that the article was Trump’s source.
And he’s not lying because he’s only spreading a rumor he heard? That’s a pretty weak defense.
