AP FACT CHECK: Trump'''s premature win on trade, Syria fiction
WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a week of caustic rhetoric by President Donald Trump over Syria and the impeachment inquiry, and truth often took a beating.
Seeking to justify pulling U.S. troops out of Syria, Trump spread false information about the total defeat of the Islamic State and misrepresented the scope of the original U.S. mission, saying it was only supposed to last “30 days.” He stepped up political attacks on his Democratic investigators, contradicting himself in the process.
=======================================
Atta boy, Trumpy. With you truth is always a secondary consideration.
