One will often hear the President of the United States, Donald Trump, make claims about how there is “fake news”. But is there some truth to that, or is it all “fake news”? It’s almost ironic.

corruption” in the way Obama is leading this phrase relates so much to our president with all the lies and fake promises that he has said to the people. He has a big problem with lying to people and he does not tell the truth often. When Obama tells the truth it's not what most or more than half of the people in the world want to hear.
