Reporter Had the Most Hilariously Succinct Fact Check of Trump's Claim That He Is 'the Least Racist Person' in the World

Reporter Had the Most Hilariously Succinct Fact Check of Trump's Claim That He Is 'the Least Racist Person' in the World

That was easy.

Over the course of the last month, President Donald Trump told four American congresswomen of color to "go back" to their countries, called a black congressman who fought in the civil rights movement a "racist," and most recently, claimed that black CNN anchor Don Lemon was "too dumb (stupid) to understand" the concept of neutrality.

Yet he continues to claim that he's the least racist person in the world. He said it to reporters outside the White House earlier this week and tweeted it this morning while on his tirade against Don Lemon.


Trump's least favorite television news personality, Jim Acosta, offered an impressively concise fact check.

Acosta has long been a thorn in Trump's side, to the point that the White House correspondent's press clearance was temporarily revoked until being restored by court order. Trump often refuses to take Acosta's questions and gleefully insults him when he does.

In this case, people are siding with Acosta or at least acknowledging that claims of Trump being the "least racist person in the world" are preposterous.

Trump has been called out for frequently using the term "infested" in association with people of color.

If you're hungry for more fact checking, Acosta's latest book, The Enemy of the People, is available here.

Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.

Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden

After President Donald Trump declared that former President Joe Biden is to blame for for current stock market performance—saying "this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's" in a rant on Truth Social—people quickly fact-checked him for previously taking credit for the stock market when Biden was in office.

A preliminary estimate shows the U.S. economy contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter of Trump’s second term, a sharp contrast to the 2.4% GDP growth recorded during Joe Biden’s final quarter in office.
