    True

    FAKE news is also claiming Trump at his rally in Florida alleged Sweden had a terrorist attack. Trump hates fake news.
    FAKE news is saying Trump was speaking of just those at the Washington Mall were the crowd. Trump made it clear the crowd included those on the internet or satellite groups over the global satellite transmissions.

    FAKE news is that the Trump team is in chaos.

    Factually much of what is published by CNN, NY Times and others is fake news. IT is not true.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The gall of the media. The utter gall.

    Trump also says there are reporters who are not dealing with fake news. And those were in the room with Sean Spicer the other day.

    I often am able to catch a video clip of Bill O'Reilly and though enjoy his presentations generally, at times I want to shut him off.

    But I see him in the same way Democrats see Bill Maher. Two who love to cut off whom is not saying what they want to be said.

    But Democrats adore Bill Maher and his gig. Funny innit?

    See, when you get told your sources are FAKE now you might get it.

    I note for the record you just called Shepard Smith fake news. Since he is a democrat, that amuses me. And the FOX programming belongs to Robert Murdock who backed Obama. Funny innit?

    Newsflash...all ...repeat ALL news reports use edited video. If they didn't we'd have an endless stream real time video that meant nothing.

    What you're saying i that you take exception to HOW they edit. ...

    Fine.

    Fake news it's not

    You can tell whom in the news the Democrats love since they full throated support CNN, MSNBC and ABC,CBS & NBC

    They despise FOX so you know FOX is different. But FOX is really different in they actually allow both sides of the political argument to speak up. I am more and more disgusted at PBS when they pretend David Brooks opposes Mark Shields. They are two peas in the same pod. Brooks works at NY Times. He is just pretending to balance Shields.

    Brooks in the Times calls Trump a failure. A month in and Brooks already pronounces the patient died.

    He disgusts me. He is called conservative. Well, he needs to swap parties if this is what is a conservative.

    Trump absolutely insinuated that there had been a terror attack the previous day...or else his rhetoric is so sloppy as to be that of a juvenile.

    And his claims of "seeing Arabs celebrating the Trade Center falling" across the river in NJ WERE fake news.

    So much for "hating" it huh?

    FAKE news is saying Trump was speaking of just those at the Washington Mall were the crowd. Trump made it clear the crowd included those on the internet or satellite groups over the global satellite transmissions.

    And THAT is just lame excuses for Trump lies

    Q: In the election, did Hillary Clinton only win 57 out of 3,141 counties?

    A: No. Clinton won at least 487 counties, according to two different counts of preliminary results.

    So Trump won 2,654 more counties across the country than Clinton. Most of the counties won by Hillary were in mostly a few big populated Blue states. America spoke all across the country and it wasn't for Democrats. You not only lost to Trump, but you lost the House and Senate and many governorships too.

    I have posted the video of Trump talking of Sweden.

    I am open to any video that shows Trump insinuated what he was referring to. I heard him speak of a variety of countries but the Democrats are frothing at the mouth over one country.

    If they told the truth, they could explain what word(s) said by Trump backs up their cases. Sadly none ever have and I have tried to pry out of their clenched jaws what they are talking about.

    At the time of 911, forgive most of we republicans, since we were not paying attention to things said by Donald Trump when he was a mere billionaire. And I missed 99 percent of his rally speeches since my main guy was Kasich. I watched more of Christie than I did Trump.

    Trump himself made it clear what his people meant by crowd. But others also told us all that Trump was talking of all of the viewers. I saw the entire thing yet was here in California and not at the mall. I personally would have seen it the same way had I been in DC that day. I enjoy a warm cozy room with coffee at my hands.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Had they won, they would explain it precisely that way. They lost big. Or is that supposed to be bigly?

    Using this as an edit, let's see who defends this statement and claims it is true news?

    Obama says he has a million shovel ready job waiting for him to be elected.

    Said he would renegotiate NAFTA

    Said he would put a stop to no bid contracts

    Said your insurance would be $2,100.00cheaper

    You can keep your health plan and doctor.

    Says his comment about extremists being a JV team "wasn’t specifically referring to" Islamic State.

    Then watch it again. He conflates terror attacks in various countries with "something" about Sweden yesterday...are you saying he's just a moron?

    Thanks for admitting you can't defend this bit of fake news and simply don't care...ya know...because you believe he hates the stuff...ya know...because he told you that
    Trump himself made it clear what his people meant by crowd. But others also told us all that Trump was talking of all of the viewers.

    If you're talking about his paltry inauguration crowds...you're wrong by any metric and Trump was lying...by ANY metric

    Next lame excuse??

    Your "issues" with Obama have nothing to do with fake news.

    Do you have any idea what you're even talking about?

    Sure, I put several fake news without ever getting a reply. Like passing off a Black man as White, Trying to make the Texas Governor look racist, etc. etc.

    What you DID...was show us that anything you take issue with or don't like is your idea of fake news.

    You clearly have no idea what you're talking about

    You don't think trying to pass off a Black man on television carrying weapons at a Obama rally as a White isn't fake news?

    You don't think cutting Gov.Perry's comment of a debt hanging over this country like a black cloud and making it look like he is referring to Obama as that black cloud isn't fake news and racist?

    Nope. Was there some hyperbolic claims made about blacks and weapons doing something?

    From what I remember the focus was on the gun at at an Obama rally. Which you admit was accurate

    I guess I have been challenged over the video we have that proves Trump never mentioned Sweden as to atrocities. I frankly still have no clue what that was about. For instance what did he mean by Germany or Belgium or France? But the media clamped down on only Sweden. Does this mean the media claims attacks by Muslims all happened on the prior day in those other 3 countries? Was Trump insinuating attacks on those other 3 nations?

    Let's roll out what was said about the Mall crowds and let's first take a good look at a photo that proves Trump was accurate.

    [​IMG]

    Who sees Trump speaking? I have walked the entire Mall so how far back does the crowd go? I see it all the way back to the Washington Monument. Frankly if you are not relatively close, you might as well be home seeing it on TV. The mall is close to 2.5 miles from the lincoln memorial to the steps of the US Capitol. Who really sees things the size of humans at that distance?


    Now Spicer does say the "most watched" innaugural. I see no proof given by Democrats that the vaunted Obama had more watchers. They speak of the mall crowd size. But look again at the photo I show where you see Trump talking and explain who can see past the Washington monument. There is a huge bandstand there. How can one see a thing behind that bandstand?

    Would you watch football games by standing back of the grandstand?

    One must actually see the great mall to respect it's size. And the clutter between the Lincoln memorial to the US Capitol is mind boggling.

    Spicer explains it himself.

    But this time, pay attention.

    The claim was about White men carrying guns at the rally and they used this man to show it. They fixed the camera so all you could see was his back, carrying a side arm and rifle over his shoulder. He was Black. They cut Perry''s comment about the debt out, to make it look like he was talking about Obama. As a matter of fact, they said he was referring to Obama as that Black cloud.

    That's the kind of hyperbolic garbage Fox is famous for. It's crappy commentary but fake news it ain't/

    Ya know what IS fake news?

    Claiming a terror attack happened when it didn't.

    Claiming ISIS fighters were captured at the border when nothing of the sort happened.

    Claiming there are FEMA round up camps is fake news

    Claiming Hillary had brain damage was fake news

    Claiming He saw thousands of Arabs dancing in the streets of Jersey City on 911 was fake news

    It was not clear what Mr. Trump was referring to. There were cheers of support in some Middle Eastern countries that day, which were broadcast on television. But a persistent Internet rumor of Muslims celebrating in Paterson, N.J., was discounted by police officials at the time. A search of news accounts from that period shows no reports of mass cheering in Jersey City.

    Trump claimed he SAW it himself. It didn't happen and he was lying and you are doing the next best thing. Pretending to believe his lies.

    - - - Updated - - -

    now YOU are spreading fake news.

    gateway pundit?

    Some expert who never was within a mile of Clinton making a diagnosis?

    That's the DEFINITION of fake news
