	Media proves it is #FakeNews after twisting Trump’s remarks on illegal immigrant criminals

SHERIFF MIMS: Thank you. There could be an MS-13 member I know about — if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it.

THE PRESIDENT: We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — and we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking people out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals.

Was he referring to MS-13? he didn't mention them, the sheriff did. Had Spanky not had a history of abusive rhetoric he might get the benefit of the doubt, as it is it's a long way from the "outright distortion" the Hill claims.

The Associated Press has deleted a tweet from late Wednesday on Trump’s “animals” comment about immigrants because it wasn’t made clear that he was speaking after a comment about gang members.

"Press report withdrawn because it was based on information that 'wasn't clear' " hardly evidence of an evil media conspiracy. Let me know when Spanky corrects any of his obvious, and provable lies.

Nice sentiment but would have been even better if he could spell his wife's name correctly

I very much doubt politics can fix a trade gap.
You need innovative goods at attractive prices, look at Netflix as a prime example.

Mostly it is not Governments who buy goods; it is their people who are the consumers.
I doubt many Chinese are interested in pickup trucks with inbuilt gun racks

They didn't say that the information 'wasn't clear', what they wrote was that the information 'wasn't made clear' - a rather important difference.

You are using a news report from the media in attempt to prove your case that the media print fake news.

Do you not see this is absurd?

<<Lifting the pickup ban in a few provinces sounds like a token gesture– until you discover that the four provinces have a population of 242 million. That’s about the same as 7 Canadas.>>
LOL

Sometimes being reasonable is a pain in the neck; I like pickup trucks too. Not the smooth, pseudo SUV's but the real things.
Even worse: To my friend's astonishment I really like some of the hummers.

The one where they tried to say that Trump had removed the MLK bust from the Oval Office is still probably my favourite

Why is there a Winston Churchill bust in the oval office?

Ah. Thank you.
So now that I know that it was a donation 1965 = been at the White House a long time ..... where the heck is it now then?

<< It [Bust of Winston Churchill] was temporarily moved back into the Oval Office in January 2017, after the inauguration of Donald Trump, until it was replaced by a cast from the British Government Art Collection (GAC).>>

Sorry, but that's how it goes: An answer changes the perspective and promptly raises other questions.

and again, you just shared a link where a journalist immediately owns a mistake and goes out of his way to correct it and you are using that to prove how the press are out to get Spanky by making up stories about him.

Look, fake is pizzagate/child sex ring/Hilary is a rapist, the bust was a quickly corrected mistake, can you see the difference?

Yes he is,
But it is somehow strange that he believes writing a tweet is a real substitute for actually doing something.

I mean many people do not read tweets or simply ignore them.
Tweeting is not the same as making decisions and implementing them.

It is somehow a false substitute for real life, same as these 200 kilo people who sit in bed and do hacking. They achieve 30 minutes of fame but do not actually change anything.

At the end of the day these tweets soon disappear and are forgotten. They are not part of any formal process that leads to debate, next steps and any form of problem resolution. Basically you are talking to yourself!
