'Simply not true!' CNN fact-checker tears into Trump's 'fictional' policy math

Raw Story  

President Donald Trump's claims on Ukraine aid and the economy are completely wrong, CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale told anchor Phil Mattingly following the president's joint news conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The news conference had several standout moments, including Trump backtracking on his claim Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a "dictator," and mistakenly referring to Starmer as the Prime Minister of "Great Britain and Ireland" in an informational email update. "It wasn't the barrage of false claims we had at the president's cabinet meeting yesterday," said Dale, a frequent analyst of Trump's fabrications. "He was asked about his claim earlier today that it's foreign countries, not Americans, who paid tariffs, and he stood by it," said Dale.
