WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s relationship with the truth tends to be borderline, at best, when it comes to the border.

So it was this past week when he made a flurry of false or unsupported statements about immigration. He said, with no evidence, that migrants are plagued with disease. He asserted that Mexico has in effect agreed to pay for his border wall, even as he threatens a partial government shutdown if Congress doesn’t approve billions of dollars to build it. He twisted federal statistics to claim the recent arrest of 10 terrorists who don’t exist.

On another front, Trump tried to cast doubt on whether his former national security adviser had lied to the FBI even after the aide pleaded guilty to doing just that.

A look at recent rhetoric and the reality:

WHO FACT CHECKS THE "FACT CHECKERS"?

[Spok]

The AP is NOT a credible source. They pander to the deranged knowing their crap won’t be challenged. I don’t know why they they bother.

He said, with no evidence,

That's the liberal media's favorite new phrase. It's like a prerequisite for anything they write about Trump, especially the 'fact-checking'.

All 'fact-checking' in the last 3 years, or since Trump became relevant, is always preceded by "He said, with no evidence".

Making a plea deal in which you admit to lying, doesn’t necessarily mean that you lied.

He said, with no evidence, that migrants are plagued with disease.

The AP writers claimed, with no evidence. . .
