WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - President Donald Trump has demanded and received an apology from a Washington Post reporter over a photo of Trump's Florida rally on Friday.

Trump tweeted Saturday that ".@DaveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in." The post included photos of the Pensacola venue as Trump spoke.

“Fake News” will be Donald Trump’s preeminent addition to the Oxford English and Websters Dictionaries.

What sane reporter would think that Trump played to an empty stadium? What planet do they live on? I understand living in a bubble, but this is crazy!

It all becomes clear when you realize these people are not journalists. They are all activists that work for Political Action Committees to promote the liberal agenda and defeat conservatives.

"Packed house, many people unable to get in. Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo!" Trump tweeted...

I feel like a kid again, watching the Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote.

Wile E. keeps getting run over by the train coming out of his fake paintings.

I’m beginning to think these news errors are intentional. To what end, to what means, I don’t know.

Yep... same old, same old ... tired leftist tactic. You can depend upon the ‘RATS and their leftist supporters in the media to routinely repeat this trick. It’s fooling fewer and fewer people as most people no longer trust the purveyors of FAKE NEWS.

“Weigel said he deleted the photo after another reporter “told me I’d gotten it wrong.” “

But that reporter says he didn’t tell him...
Why lie about that?
And notice AP hides that lie.

This hilarious. “The Hill” currently has 3 articles about this LOL!

Yes. That must always be kept in mind. There are no MSM journalists. There are only lying commie Soros/Rothschild-backed propagandists.

I think President Trump should start disqualifying reporters from the news agencies that have too many repeat lies and Forced retractions. Ban CNN from the white house for starters, then WA Compost next.

...after another reporter "told me I'd gotten it wrong."

I think the other reporter's exact words were: "Dude, they're on to you! Walk it back! Walk it back!"

“Sure thing: I apologize,” Weigel tweeted. Weigel said he deleted the photo after another reporter “told me I’d gotten it wrong.”

So the president of the US telling you is not enough to delete it? Fire his ass
