Polifact - a website that heralds itself on reporting as objectively as possible is rating trumps latest tweet about the national debt lowering in his first month as "mostly false".
They even pull up the numbers and admit it's quite literally lowered 12B in his first month - yet say his claim is false - noting "This factoid is a gross misrepresentation of the state of the debt and the role the new president had in shaping the figure.". So even though what trump objectively said is completely and utterly true, they're still ruling that his claim is false. Trump never stated in his tweet that he was the reason for this - just stated a fact that it's down 12B and that during Obama first month it went up 200B. That's it.
I'm rating Politico's and the vast majority of modern journalism as "Mostly Bullshit".
