Elon Musk is silent after bombshell report on secret contact with Putin

Fox News’ broadcast of the event cut Trump’s comments about “gang members and drug lords” in Aurora, Colorado, and his lies about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. “They just dumped 50,000 people — 32,000 migrants from another country — in Springfield, Ohio. They don’t know what to do,” Trump said, greatly exaggerating. The city estimates that between 12,000 and 15,000 immigrants live there the whole countynot all are Haitian. Those who are Haitian are there under temporary protection status, which means they are in the country legally. But Trump he does not care a straw about the facts.

In addition, Fox heavily edited Trump’s response to an audience member in the barbershop who asked about federal taxes. In the unedited video, Trump can be heard rambling for seven minutes about the Keystone pipeline, tariffs, The Wall Street Journal, and transgender sports, with the audience member generously trying to keep him on track, but ultimately saying, “I didn’t get to finish my question.”

The Fox News video only shows what happens in a brief moment after Trump is forced to answer about eliminating federal taxes, dropping the rest.
