one of the fascinating things with trump is that he says so many untruthful things and has a way of talking around topics that none of them ever get to any resolution. those who have interviewed him extensively even prior to his candidacy have pointed this out. as a consequence of his style, observers just get conditioned that he says outlandish things, be amused, and just try to keep up. so, there is no digging required to find a falsehood. it is *usually* the last thing he said. in this case it was the tweets this morning.
- trump tweets a threat to gm early in the month (actually, one of the few things i like about donald trump is his shaming of companies that act against the country's interests in the name of increased profits)
- yesterday, he takes credit for GM doing investment in the US (never mind that they done over $20 BILLION in similar business in the US during obama's terms
- news organizations do their job and follow up, they report that the decision was made well before trump's win
- trump attacks news agency and re-asserts that companies are bringing jobs back because of him:
Totally biased @NBCNews went out of its way to say that the big announcement from Ford, G.M., Lockheed & others that jobs are coming back...to the U.S., but had nothing to do with TRUMP, is more FAKE NEWS. Ask top CEO's of those companies for real facts. Came back because of me!

do you think that NBC news story was fake?
do you think that GM lied?
why did GM invest billions here in the past decade?
is trump's tweet honest or dishonest, in your assessment of the facts?
