The visual representation of Fake News.

On December 21, Donald Trump posted a tweet to his official Twitter account: "Some of the many Bills that I am signing in the Oval Office right now. Cancelled my trip on Air Force One to Florida while we wait to see if the Democrats will help us to protect America’s Southern Border!”

Trump has been butting heads with Democrats over his demand for $5.7 billion to fund a 215 mile wall along the Mexican border.


He accompanied the tweet with a picture of himself in the Oval Office, surrounded by a massive stack of black folders, signing his name to a piece of paper.

The problem? The paper appeared to be completely blank.

Twitter wasted no time going after Trump for the pic.

Not only that...

Seriously?

Of course, this isn’t the first time Trump has been accused of using blank paperwork as a prop. In 2017, it was reported that Trump surrounded himself with blank papers during a press conference.

The photo and tweet came on the eve of a government shutdown, which Trump blames on Democrats who refused to approve his border security spending bill - which was, presumably, one of the documents causing him to cancel his holiday plans.

Despite the huge stack of paperwork, only two bills were signed on the day of the tweet, and none have been signed since then.

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.
