A comment/ question on the Insanity just televised.

it’s obvious that the only way to stop Trump from simplifying answers to questions which he has no idea of how to answer...is for the reporters to follow up on the obvious lies spewing out of Trump’s circular mouth...

For Instance.. The Bullshit taken completely out of context by Trump, Concerning Hillary’s sale of 20% of the Uranium in the U.S. to Russia..The next reporter or one shortly after should have taken the IDIOT to task immediately.

The Reporters who currently working for Fake News Outlets should Make this a fucking huge priority..




From: Politifact

Trump says Clinton "gave up 20 percent of America's uranium supply to Russia."

The reference is to Russia’s nuclear power agency buying a controlling interest in a Toronto-based company. That company has mines, mills and tracts of land in Wyoming, Utah and other U.S. states equal to about 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity (not produced uranium).

Clinton was secretary of state at the time, but she didn’t have the power to approve or reject the deal. The State Department was only one of nine federal agencies that signed off on the deal, and only Obama had the power to veto it.

For a statement that contains only an element of truth, our rating is Mostly False.

Reporters tend to ramble a bit on the asking. It's understandable since getting called on is their one chance to shine but they need to remember they're dealing with an intellectual lightweight.
