President Trump Asks Reporter, ‘You’re ABC Fake News, Right?’ – Twitchy

As Twitchy reported, ABC News’ Jonathan Karl had an “ABC EXCLUSIVE” that was important enough to share on a Sunday. President Trump was poised to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar. The real story: Trump was so desperate for an up-to-date Air Force One jet that he’d asked a Florida-based company to overhaul a plane once used by the Qatari government.

BOEING CAN’T BUILD A NEW AIR FORCE ONE.

That’s the buried lede. It’s the central problem.

Boeing couldn’t deliver a new jet before Trump’s term ended. So he’s having one retrofitted that the Qatari government used. Oh, and it’s a “luxury” jet … as is every Air Force One.

On Monday, a reporter from ABC News made the mistake of asking Trump, “What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?” What “people”? Jonathan Karl?

“You’re ABC fake news, right? – You should be embarrassed asking that question.”

I feel like we need to segment or categorize information:
1. Raw Information – X
2. Branded Information – Legacy Media
3. Propaganda – Facebook

So it remains for use for future presidents?

It’s to be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library by January 2029, assuming Boeing has delivered those jets by then.
