CNN rates Trump’s tweet as false. The percentage wasn’t 68, it was 68.05.

Anything can be disputed. You say your name is John? I don’t know if that’s true. Now your claim is disputed by me, even if I am just being a retard. It’s just that simple.

Twitter uses the word "disputed" instead of "debunked" because disputed is meaningless, and can’t be used in a libel case. Yet, to the masses, they see it as synonymous with "debunked."

^This.

I can "dispute" your existence and credibility, asserting that you might be a bot or a figment of my imagination, doesn't mean I've conclusively disproved you wrote the post above and proven you to have never existed.

** Legalvotesonly1 claim about this tweet being a fact is disputed **

Whilst it is in fact a fact by the very definition of what has been considered a fact for thousands of years, it is not considered a fact by the many reputable "fact check" services that exist and have sprung up over the last four years; impartial fact checkers that have no interest or personal stakes in what is being disputed.

Everything trump says is disputed.

It’s the twilight zone. You’re only allowed to change his words to make him look bad.

They put these labels on posts that have nothing to do with the election at all.
