NBC reporter Peter Alexander corrected President Donald Trump during a press conference Thursday after the president again made a false claim about his Electoral College victory margin.
The press conference was called to tout the president’s choice of attorney Alexander Acosta for the role of labor secretary, but it devolved into a meandering tirade against the press. Russia dominated the questions, but Trump also found a way to brag about his victory over Hillary Clinton, falsely claiming the margin, 306 electoral votes to Clinton’s 232, was the biggest since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 win. In fact, Barack Obama won more electoral votes in 2008, and George H.W. Bush won more in 1988.
Alexander, a correspondent for NBC News, sought to correct Trump on those figures, and pressed him to explain how he could call reporting by outlets like The New York Times and CNN “fake news” while using inaccurate figures himself.
“Why should Americans trust you?” asked Alexander.
“I was given that information,” Trump said, cutting Alexander off. “I don’t know. I was just given it. We had a very, very big margin.”
“Why should Americans trust you when you accuse the information they receive of being fake, when you provide information that’s not accurate?” Alexander asked.
“I was given that information,” said Trump. “Actually, I’ve seen that information around. But it was a very substantial victory. Do you agree with that?”
“You’re the president,” Alexander replied.
Trump has repeatedly described his victory over Clinton as a “historic” and “massive” landslide. That’s not the case. His Electoral College victory actually ranks 46th out of 56 presidential elections. He lost the popular vote to Clinton by about 2.8 million votes.
Despite repeated debunkings, Trump continues to make false claims about the election. On Wednesday, he responded to a question about the rise of anti-Semitism by bragging about his win.
“Well, I just want to say that we are, you know, very honored by the victory that we had: 306 Electoral College votes,” Trump said Wednesday. “We were not supposed to crack 220. You know that, right? There was no way to 221, but then they said there’s no way to 270.”
"I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf," Trump said at the time.
Trump has visited his two golf courses near his Mar-a-Lago estate -- Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach and Trump National Golf Course in Jupiter -- six times in his first month in office.

There's some truth.....All The President has done around town is to ty up traffic around town. Even business leaders on the islands Worth Ave are complaining about him being here every weekend that all the road closures are costing the big business in prime of the season. I did notice though after driving past Mar La Go that he probably won't be here for some time finally. All the stations for checking vehicle's are gone along with road barriers. Make America Great Again from DC please.

Yes, in as much as his physical presence is needed in DC. He can't escape the job, but he can escape the location and all of the people who are critical of him by going to his club. He will travel more than any president because he needs to be surrounded by his club members in Florida since they will support him no matter what.
How is CNN rated the same as far as accuracy with Fox news? I watch both channels and find that cnn is much more reliable than fox. I wonder if things like Don lemons commentary are included in this rating. I do agree that cnn leans left, but they consistently have on Republican "analysts" where you hardly ever see democratic analysts on fox. So you do get a more balanced viewpoint with cnn, in my opinion.

I read this yesterday and it is pretty damned depressing. I'm sure the author isn't the only one feeling the way he does. It must be frustrating to have a bunch of lunatics running the show, completely ignoring or discounting intelligence that people are risking their lives to gather and analyze. But Trump and Bannon fancy themselves the smartest dudes in all of the land, so of what use would intelligence briefings be? Especially if those briefings ran counter to their America First narrative? Plus, it takes away valuable Twitter time listening to these daily briefings.

President Trump told a crowd there had been an attack on Sweden. Actually, it was a documentary.
