Trump’s Truth

.
Pretty Good Sources 

“Last month, Trump told a South Carolina crowd that Obama was considering an executive order to take away their guns, which is not true. When asked about it the next day on CNN’s ‘New Day,’ Trump responded by saying he’d been told as much. ‘I’ve heard that he wants to and I heard and I think on your network, somebody said that that’s what he’s thinking about.’ 

“‘My source is the papers,’ Trump said. ‘They’re pretty good sources.’” 

—Michael Calderone, senior media reporter, “Donald Trump’s ‘Sources’ Are So Good, Only He Knows Who They Are,” HuffPo, November 24, 2015
