DONALD ON DONALD/FAKE NEWS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump defended some of the most controversial claims of his young political career in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine published Thursday, in which he offered a simple and absolute defense of his method:
‘I’m a very instinctual person, but my instinct turns out to be right. Hey, look, in the meantime, I guess I can’t be doing so badly, because I’m president, and you’re not,’ he told Time’s Washington bureau chief, Michael Scherer.
The discussion for the cover story — titled ‘Is Truth Dead?’ — covered subjects that ranged from Trump’s wiretap accusations to the 2016 campaign trail conspiracy theory in the National Enquirer falsely connecting Sen. Ted Cruz’s father and the JFK assassination.”
