Trump Can't Get Anything Right at Anytime or Anywhere About Anything: Factchecker's Dream

I got one fact right: 
I won and Crooked Hillary lost

One for the history books, but kids: 
(Cover your eyes)

Here post addresses how Trump “preserves, protects, and defends the Constitution” which he swore as part of the official presidential oath of office. In a word: one huge PR campaign to discredit S/C Robert Mueller and anything/indeed everything connected to the Russian probe and more from here:

In addition to all legal battles, Trump's legal team and GOP-FOX allies have waged a public relations campaign against Mueller to discredit the investigation and soften the impact of the special counsel's potential findings, and indeed discredit Mr. Mueller himself.

For example and the latest from Rudy Giuliani said in his estimation last week: “… the special counsel probe may be an entirely illegitimate investigation that needs to be curtailed because” “… it is based on inappropriately obtained information from an informant and former FBI director James Comey's memos.

Actually, Rudy Gee, that is totally NOT true. In reality, which Rudy Gee apparently does not comprehend is simple: “The FBI began its counterintelligence investigation in July 2016 to determine if Trump campaign associates were coordinating with Russia to tip the election. That investigation was opened after the hacking of the DNC and later attributed to Russia were published by WikiLeaks and thus made public.”

The nefarious and constant Trump BS spin about “fake news, witch hunt, or contention that the DEMS are angry for losing the election and that they paid for the informant and are behind the so-called Steele Dossier, etc., etc.” continues and on Trump’s terms mostly to appease his base.

All that Trump-FOX, and rightwing Talk Radio spin in and of itself is bogus yet unrelenting. Any real danger? Not Mueller and his work – but the Trump spin machine plants distrust and belief in our entire legal and law enforcement systems,  agencies like the FBI, and thee dedicated personnel therein, and all despite Trump’s cheap phony pandering otherwise he is losing this battle except for his small and narrow-minded majority of loyalists who keep buying into Trump’s BS.

Finally, this historical note: Trump has to be the dumbest man ever to occupy the W/H. He lacks the most -rudimentary understanding of both history our entire government structure – cite this classic example from this AP story:

TRUMP: “African-Americans vote for DEMS for the most part. You know, vast majority. They've been doing it for over 100 years.” (At a recent Nashville rally).

THE FACTS: Not 100 years or anything close. Most African-Americans for much of U.S. history were disenfranchised, then prevented from voting until the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA), which outlawed racial discrimination in voting.

Before then, those who could vote mostly backed Republicans until the 1932 election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose New Deal programs of economic relief helped spur a longer-term shift of black support from Republican to Democrat.

Thanks for stopping by – this post and story stands alone – no clarification needed.
