Fact Check: Trump Blasts ‘Fake News’ and Repeats INACCURATE Claims at CPAC

[h***@bbs.cpcn.com]

President Trump’s speech on Friday at the Conservative Political
Action Conference followed a familiar pattern: Blast the news media as “dishonest,” repeat a string of falsehoods, and wrap up by
promising to change the status quo. "I want you all to know that
we are fighting the fake news,” Mr. Trump said. "It’s fake, phony,
fake. They have a professional obligation as members of the press
to report honestly. But as you saw throughout the entire campaign,
and even now, the fake news doesn’t tell the truth."

If you’re a bedraggled sixth-grader from a beleaguered country where
the Quran is a popular text, Trump will stop you at our border. If
you’re a retired lieutenant general who hallucinates an Islamic
terrorist behind every last garden shrub in America, Trump will
welcome you to the White House. --Thomas Friedman

I wonder if they'll ever admit to how badly they've buttfucked
themselves regarding the Affordable Care Act. And I wonder if the right
wing beatoffs can tell me why repealing it was so important during
Obama's tenure that they voted on it 60 times, but now they suddenly
realize they need a replacement for it, as if to say they were too
stupid to admit people needed health coverage in the first place.

Funny how often the left often accuse others of what they do, is it not?

Nor that he has not described a TV show.
(Yeah, I know that's what Ubi would say.)
