Americans normally hear from President Donald Trump when he is on Twitter, riffing from a rally stage or otherwise improvising. This past week was different as he sat in the Oval Office with a script laid out for him to read on a matter grave enough for a prime-time address to the nation. (snip) TRUMP: "We will be suspending all travel from Europe, except the United Kingdom, for the next 30 days." — Oval Office address.
THE FACTS: He inaccurately described his own plan.

Especially the AP is notoriously deceptive.

I couldn't read this after the second "gotcha" because I could then see what this was all about. Here we are in a country that is under lockdown for all intents and purposes, and these baboons at the AP have to play these games with President Trump. They are incapable of backing off and helping out. No, let's show that Trump is a liar and be-esser and not uniting the country. Maybe Trump should go on TV and say "I feel your pain!" while biting his lower lip. These guys want style, not substance!

There is only one fact that will be remembered from this. At the end of the day, how did we do? That fact will decide the election. Anyone who bets against America or Trump is a wishful fool.

Amazing how AP twists and 'yeah, buts' its "facts". Trump says "has seen" and AP says "has seen, so far" and calls it a lie.

American Exceptionalism does not apply to the Associated Press...there is a reason it is hyphenated to Ass Press

Leave it to the LEFTOIDS to try to diminish President Trump and his hard-working teams within his cabinet and knowledgeable health-care experts!! They know the mantra of NEVER LETTING A CRISIS go to waste!! I've noticed that a good number of doctors who've made themselves available for live TV interviews, are sleep-deprived, putting patients and the viewing public's needs before their own. God Bless them all!!

The AP can always be depended upon to kick America in the balls when the stakes are high.

Funny how everything uttered by Obama was the gospel truth, was never disputed and if you looked even had a questioning look on your face you were a racist.

Is this the same AP that thought obama visited 57 states? I’ve got a bridge to sell to anyone who believes this BS.

Aside from the obvious AP perfidy, I wonder why AP shows up on these threads every single day. Like CNN, I know where to find AP when I need it. Do you know how often I need it?

Gosh, The Associated Press is doing facts checks on Trump!
I read that some reporters get their news from Twitter.
I never read Associated Press pieces
because i never believe anything they write.
I wonder if they get their news from Twitter?

A whole lot of AP nitpicking. What is President Trump supposed to do, tell the American people to surrender to this virus?

Apee, WaPoo and NY Slimes are all deceptive. I was reviewing their claims that Trump has lied over 16,000 times and it was obvious they counted any and every slight exaggeration, out-of-context statement, rounded numbers, self-evident hyperbole and any repetition of these items and called every instance a seperate "lie". And the leftist lemmings repeat that junk!

Wow, President Trump read from a script. Would the AzzPress prefer a teleprompter?
