Not really the point, is it. The point is misuse of the phrase "fake news"


He says it all the time and too many people, especially Trumpies, believe it simply because he says it. No matter how frequently Trump is shown to be a pathological liar. Lies about a trade deficit with Canada, brags that he lies, and then continues to repeat the lie. Pathological. The last guy anybody should consider the arbiter of what's true and what's fake.

Truthfulness seems to have no meaning to too many people, and no matter how many snarky "noooooooo"s you post to try to diminish the problem, truth matters. To most of us not in the thrall of a demagogue.
