Just when you think media is ready to calm down and cover President Trump more carefully, they prove you wrong.

What appears to be the latest in a long string of bogus reporting on the Trump administration comes courtesy of the Sunday Times, which reported on March 26 that the president handed German Chancellor Angela Merkel a fake multibillion-euro invoice for her country's NATO obligations when they met earlier this month in Washington, D.C.

The story is completely false, according to Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert.
