Sorry State of Affairs when you cannot trust the guy at the top








This short clip shows President Trump being challenged on the number of electoral votes which he won in Nov 2016 ; he boasted that his margin was the widest by any President since Ronald Reagan.
(1980 - 1988)

When fact checked by the reporter, and told that Obama had more votes than him, he said he meant Republican President. When the reporter pressed on with the fact that George H W Bush (Bush Senior) had won 356 votes, much more than his 304 votes, he quickly said " Oh Iwas just handed this sheet of paper" I don't know about it.    

President Trump is obviously applying double standards ; when he accuses the press for providing 'fake news' which he our his staffers cannot substantiate, he goes on and on in a diatribe.

When he is cornered by a reporter with the actual fact that he is wrong, he quickly said he is given the piece of information and brushes it off.

The reporter questioned the logic that the information provided by the Press and they report it is 'fake', and when he himself goes about purporting the very same standard of 'fake facts' and hoping to pull off a fast one.

It is sad. A major embarrassment for the world's superpower and their citizens.
