Here is how the lefts mental gymnastics work to claim that Trump's statement is false, as they claim they do have sources.
Step 1: The MSM overlords hire bad managers, with illintent for their media companies, who will hire bad journalists who don't actually do journalism.
Step 2: The MSM ovelords decide on a narrative, and coordinate with people to make shit up and be a "source" for their various outlets.
Step 3: Retarded desk-journos get contacts from people who tell them the crafted lies.
Step 4: Because they aren't real journalists, but think they are because they graduated with a journalism degree, they don't bother to look into or verify anything, and simply report what they hear from their "sources", they believe that simply reporting what other people say is journalism.
Step 5: After the victims of their fake news defend themselves saying it's fake, the desk-journos act appalled, and tell themselves because someone told them a thing, they believe they are the ones that are right, and double down on the narratives they are told.
