Alternative Fact: August 16, 2018

Today's alternative fact (to help you get through the day): Donald Trump is the least racist person there is. "Blacks are great," he told reporters. "I love those people. They're excellent football players. I used to own some of them, you know." At first reporters believed Trump was referring to the New Jersey Generals, a football team he purchased in the 1980s. But Donald set them straight: "No, I owned some black people. My father and I wouldn't let them rent apartments from us, of course, but we did keep a few in the basement to do custodial work. We had to let them out at some point in the 1970s when someone suddenly decided slavery was illegal."
