FactChecking Trump’s News Conference; He got very little correct ...

President Donald Trump offered his spin on the first weeks of his administration, and made some familiar false claims, during his Feb. 16 press conference:

The president praised his administration’s implementation of his anti-terrorism executive order, which has been largely blocked by the courts. “The rollout was perfect,” he said. But the order caused confusion at the nation’s airports, including for green-card holders and dual citizens.
Trump said that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which unanimously decided not to reinstate Trump’s travel ban, has had its rulings overturned by the Supreme Court “at a record number.” Not true.
Trump wrongly said that Hillary Clinton “gave” Russia 20 percent of the uranium in the United States. Clinton was one of nine votes approving the deal. She alone couldn’t have stopped the deal, which involved 20 percent of U.S. production capacity, not stocks, and the uranium can’t go to Russia without export licenses.
The president claimed his November victory was “the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan.” It wasn’t. Three presidents since Reagan captured a larger share of electoral votes than Trump did, including Republican George H.W. Bush.
Trump said “jobs have already started to surge” since his election, citing investments by Ford, Fiat Chrysler and Intel. But the investments, much of which were in the works before the election, were largely market driven.
Contrary to the president’s claim that “nobody mentions that Hillary received the questions to the debates,” there was plenty of press coverage in October when it was revealed that former CNN contributor Donna Brazile shared several questions with the Clinton campaign during the primary election.
Trump said he thought the media had “a lower approval rate than Congress.” No — the public’s approval of Congress is lower than its trust in the media.

Only a real loser keeps trying to twist the facts to match their ego.

Trump was indeed wrong when he claimed "Hillary Clinton “gave” Russia 20 percent of the uranium in the United States." That was a pay to play deal, nothing was given, it was sold. Does a whore give away anything for free? Let's be realistic...

Since when did leftists interested in hearing the facts? Oh wait, you guys are only interested with the facts you like to hear but not the uncomfortable facts.
Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.

Everything the left accuses Trump of doing without evidence - the Clinton's have done multiples more.

The hypocrisy, lies and covering is so blatant, how will the left every recover?

Here we go, with the phony fact checks.

Trump said all these companies are hiring... and they are but really it is market driven so that makes it false. Um, no. That's not how it works. Trump didn't say it was not market driven. He said companies are hiring and they are. He stated a fact.

These fact checkers are slimy propagandists. This really belongs on the conspiracy theory forum.

When leftists get absolutely owned, all they can do is pull out phony fact checks. They are like children with fingers in their ears screaming "Liar, liar, liar!" They don't even attempt to debate the issues. Fact is, leftists are defending a shadow democrat of unelected elitists who blatantly battle democracy. It can't be any clearer that Leftists pose a greater enemy to America than any terrorist.
