Trump throws a fit when reporters note his own numbers prove him wrong

By Dan Desai Martin - February 15, 2019

Trump blew a gasket and trashed crime statistics from his own administration as 'fake news.'

Trump came completely unglued on Friday when multiple reporters pointed out that his racist rhetoric about immigrants does not match up with federal government data, including from Trump’s own Department of Homeland Security.

“I use many stats,” Trump cried petulantly at one point when he was unable to come up with a specific rebuttal to the facts reporters cited.

The exchange came during a press conference in which Trump declared a national emergency to help him steal funds to build a wall along the southern border.

CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Trump to explain the discrepancy between his claims that there is a “national emergency” at the border, and data from the Department of Homeland Security showing “border crossings at a near record low.”

Donald Trump is proof that if you pile cat shit high enough and let it ferment long enough, it will walk and talk. Science never warned us of this danger.

13. "Alternative stats, Mr. President?"

Not sure how the Playboy guy missed that one.

Acosta probably would have nailed it, if that stats answer had been in response to his questioning.
