This is a must read !!!- DONALD TRUMPS ALTERNATIVE-REALITY PRESS CONFERENCE

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It was “insane,” a “marathon rant” at the media, and “a press conference for the ages.” Before you accuse me of liberal bias, these were the terms that Fox Business Channel’s Charles Gasparino, the home page of the New York Post, and Fox News’s Shepard Smith used, respectively, to describe the performance that Donald Trump put on during a lengthy press conference in the East Room of the White House on Thursday.

Nominally, the White House had hastily scheduled the press conference so that Trump could announce he was nominating Alexander Acosta, the dean of Florida International University College of Law, for the post of Labor Secretary. But it was clear something strange was afoot when Trump walked in alone—without Acosta. Then, when the President started to talk, his tone was one of thinly suppressed fury.

...


Nobody can argue with that last sentence—but not in reference to the press. When Trump finally wrapped up his soliloquy and took questions, a reporter pointed out that both Obama and George H. W. Bush got more Electoral College votes than he did, and asked why Americans should trust him when he peddles blatant falsities. “I was given that information,” Trump replied blithely. “I’ve seen that information around.” Another reporter asked Trump whether he was concerned that, by labelling stories he didn’t like as “fake news,” he was undermining public faith in the First Amendment. He threw the question back. “The press—the public doesn’t believe you people anymore,” he said. “Now, maybe I had something to do with that. I don’t know. But they don’t believe you.”

As far as many of Trump’s core supporters are concerned, that may be true. When he walked out of the room, some of his aides appeared to be delighted. Rush Limbaugh, another Palm Beach resident who has made his career by going loco on the mainstream media, was busy hailing what he had just seen. In parts of Trumpland, then, this was seen as a big win. Practically everywhere else, the reaction was: Wow! He really is a nut.

3. Can't Trump do the simple math that his Electoral College number 320 is LESS than 360 and 420? Sad!

Where did he hear different exactly, from Alex Jones?

8. While attempting to undermine the MSM for their alleged lies, trump presents false info again.

Especially when it comes to the Electoral College votes, anyone who does a little checking can determine he didn't get the most number of votes ever. That claim, which he continually repeats, is nothing but a fat LIE.

I also find it ridiculous that he claims Flynn resigned simply because of leaks, yet at the same time the news media is telling lies. Well which way is it? If the leaks are false, then why did Flynn quit? Trump makes no sense.

If a citizen believes trump following these obvious lies, they are WILLFULLY ignoring facts and the nonsensical. Not sure why anyone would do this, but many are sticking by him.
