11. I think that the only time anything Trump says should be reported

Wednesday

is when it has been first verified for truthfulness and accuracy by some independent source(s). Otherwise, I will not believe a GD thing that he or any of his loyal minions say. I wish the news media would do the same. The only time it should be "news" is when Trump is actually telling the truth and he should be ignored the rest of the time. But I guess since he's POTUS and the media needs ratings that's too much to ask.
