You've got that right.
Last night Trump went on about terrorist attacks:
“You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden, ..."
Well I sure don't believe it, because nothing happened in Sweden. The Swedes are puzzled too.
If you have to make shit up to prove a point you don't have much of a point do you? And that is what fake news is. Stuff that is just made up in an attempt to convince people you have a point to make when you don't have one at all.
