Trump: "If a person is a Muslim and goes overseas and come back, they can come back. They are a citizen, that is different."

Don Surber: Why do reporters misquote Trump? My money is on him. Here's why: He already has reduced them to lying.

Take his call to block the immigration of Muslims "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." That resonated with America, and so Ben Kasimar of The Hill falsely reported that Trump would include U.S. citizens who are re-entering the country. He based that on an email from a spokesperson. Kasimar did not disclose what his email said. But increasingly the truth -- in this case, what Trump's actual position is -- does not matter to national reporters. Rather than merely report the news, Kasimar decided to make the news up. Trump went on ABC and made it clear that what he said was what he sid: Immigrants, not citizens:"If a person is a Muslim and goes overseas and come back, they can come back. They are a citizen, that is different."

"He already has reduced them to lying."
=======================

Knock it off.
The media's been lying for decades, about everything.

Surely you didn't think they'd suddenly start telling the truth about Trump did you?

silly-nilly
