Fake News: Embarrassing (Completely Inaccurate) Stories About Trump Go Viral Over the Weekend
Christine Rousselle
As the saying goes, a lie goes halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on. This happened quite literally two times over the weekend. President Donald Trump is currently on a trip to Asia, and over the weekend a few amusing--and completely inaccurate--stories about his antics went viral.
First, a story broke that Trump told a group of Japanese businessmen to build their cars in the United States instead of "shipping them over" from Japan. This was reported by a whole host of sources. Many were laughing at how "ignorant" Trump was at seemingly not knowing that Japanese automakers already make their cars in America.
