WH Press Pool report that Don The Con's imaginary supporters were actually protestors...



Once again, President Trump has accused the media of lying without providing evidence to support his claim.

His latest accusation, via Twitter of course:

Trump’s own press pool contradicts this statement, saying that “a couple dozen” of anti-Trump protesters were in the streets around Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, where the president was meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife.

As usual, Trump provided no photographic evidence of these crowds, and a cursory search of Twitter only reveals pictures of giant anti-Trump crowds with smatterings of Trump supporters from last week.

And, of course, this:

We all know how you like the cheering of the crowds. Why don't you stop, get out, and greet all those sign-waving supporters personally? I'm sure they'd be thrilled to meet with you face to face.

He lies even when it's obvious he's lying. That's some sick Republican evil. The Republicans need to stop pissing on Americans, and pissing on the truth
