Trump makes up a completely fake bill to slam Democrats.

WATCH: Donald Trump Says ‘Every Single Democrat in the US Senate Has Signed Up for…the Open Borders Bill’

“Every single democrat in the US Senate has signed up for open borders and its a billed called The Open Borders Bill and it’s written by, guess who, Dianne Feinstein. Remember the leaking, right? The leaking Dianne Feinstein.”

“If the democrat’s bill ever becomes law, a tidal wave of drugs and crime will pour into our nation like never ever before.”

Trump’s supporters echoed his statements online to bolster support for Republican candidates leading up to the November midterms.

There is a problem with the President’s characterizations of the bill however, namely, that the bill does not actually exist.

In addition to Twitter amplifying the President’s false claims of a Democrat created and fully supported “Open Borders Bill,” the Steve Bannon founded Breitbart and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars jumped on Trump’s false claims.

Both featured stories that included the President’s rally claims as well as adding a few extra details from the nonexistent bill’s contents. Breitbart even made up another nickname for the fictitious Open Borders Bill

1. He can say whatever pops in his head

and his stupid base will believe it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. It's a calculated appeal to emotions. Facts do not matter for his base. . . . nt

18. Trump's version of The Jerry Springer Show

2. The American press and Congress will not call him out on his lies.

17. The American press and Congress will not call him out on his lies.

Dems have very limited air time when they're on a mostly corporate media Tee Vee, but I haven't seen many of them calling that fat, lying muthafukka out as of YET unfortunately

4. Dung beetles like to be fed dung and brood their children in it.

[FakeNoose]

5. Cheeto says this shit whenever there's a TV camera on him - and no reporters to call him out

There is no opportunity to disagree or question him, there's no opportunity to call him a liar. For this reason alone, the news media should refuse to televise Cheeto's campaign speeches.

His speeches aren't news and the media shouldn't be giving him free publicity. Same with the tweets - they aren't news. They aren't even truthful most of the time.

[JudyM]

14. +1000. The media amplifies false "facts" enough to sway opinion.

[duforsure]

6. He's accusing others again for redirection

Away from his caging the babies campaign he's doing to intentionally damage little children for life, and he doesn't care. Child abuse from trump and the gop . That's what this claim is about to confuse his followers into believing his lies about others. The gop are right there with him abusing these children. We can all see that its true too. People should think about those children he's ripped from their parents arms to scatter all over this country and preventing them from finding them. Republicans have really sunk to new lows with trump.

[renate]

7. I go back and forth between blaming his supporters for being stupid and gullible and him for lying

I know he's supposed to be the symptom, not the cause, but remember when the news was 100% objective, and we were a shining example to the world of the freedom of the press... a lot of people can't believe that the President of the United States could look them in the eye and tell them an outright lie and totally get away with it. But if the only network they watch doesn't correct him, what are they supposed to believe?

Of course they should watch something other than Fox, but they don't. And they may not realize that the News in Fox News is a joke, they really might not. So blaming them for believing the things that the president, and Fox, and Russian trolls tell them is maybe a distraction from the real villains.

[G_j]

10. The media not much of a help either

one might think that making up a fake bill and saying all the dems supported it would be a significant story.

[Turin_C3PO]

11. I've even known

an (uninformed) Dem who took Fox News seriously. He voted Obama, luckily, but somehow didn’t know that Fox News is propaganda. I convinced him to turn to CNN or MSNBC as to avoid him getting brainwashed into voting Republican. Bizarre huh?

[0rganism]

8. "branding"

Trump & GOP media wreck us with branding, we should all learn about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_implementation

right now, Trump & friends can say whatever they like. protesting truth value ignores (and, in fact, compounds) the original problem. we cannot win in this scenario without a solid plan.

the correct counter-strategy would be to brand Trump & friends as profligate liars. unfortunately, we do not have the necessary infrastructure to create and impose such brands.

[G_j]

30. It's happening very slowly

begrudgingly I would say

[EleanorR]

9. the march towards fascism continues

Republicans are incredibly dangerous to our democracy.

[spanone]

12. everything out of his mouth is a lie.

[dhill926]

13. we need a War Room like the Clinton campaign...

to refute this shit IMMEDIATELY after it falls out of the asshole's mouth. Hit back and hard...and often.

[TeamPooka]

15. Hitler plus Orwell equals Trump.

[lastlib]

25. Add Goebbels and Stalin, and you've nailed it!

[LibDemAlways]

19. I'm a substitute teacher. If I walked into a

high school Government class and made up shit like that, I'd be fired. How does Trump get away with it? Instead of ignoring his outrageous lies, Feinstein and every Democratic member of the Senate should be out there calling the POS a liar and telling him, in no uncertain terms, to quit making shit up. This is why we need an Avenatti.

[Volaris]

22. Or they should be releasing a bill titled Open Borders,

with every damn useful thing we can think to jam inside the fucker for the working class, including a clause to impeach this clown as soon as we have the power to do so.

If we're gonna be accused of this shit, I for one would actually like to start being guilty, wouldn't you?

[lastlib]

26. I'm for that!

[lpbk2713]

23. And this was in Topeka.

The President of the United States is campaigning all over the country on behalf of the Republicans. Not only is he doing it on our tax money but he is spreading lies as well. He is supposed to be the president of all Americans.

[LenaBaby61]

28. Kansas is a complete MESS thanks to thuglicans ...

Like Sam Brownback and his thuglican minions who've run that state into and UNDER the ground.

And although I never watch toilet-paper-in-chief's Hitler-lite rallies, I know not all of those folks there wearing his Chinese-made MAGA hats cheering at everything he says like trained monkeys are rich 1% 'ers, clapping for him and his "Let's destroy what's left of the middle-class and lower middle-class people rallies." I guess those fools don't care that children don't go to school for a solid week anymore, or that the educational system in Kansas is past broken, or about the fact that Kansas has an infrastructure worse than Swiss Cheese it's in such HORRIBLE shape financially.

[FiveGoodMen]

33. If Brownback cheated his way into office, then I agree

But if he really got the largest share of the vote, then it's more accurate to say Kansas is a complete MESS thanks to Kansans.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Time to tell the world that Trump is supporting his own Open Borders Bill

tag him with his own medicine

[Docreed2003]

27. Lies...lies...and more lies

Enough of this crap already!!! Someone please forcefully and repeatedly call this sick fucker out on his lies. This cannot and must not continue.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. He made up a completely fake speech from Senator Blumenthal just to attack him

He claims Blumenthal gave a speech bragging about charging up a hill at the Battle of Da Nang, and mocked him as “Da Nang Dick”.

Blumenthal never made any such speech and never made any such claim. He did apologize for potentially misleading insinuations that he served in Vietnam (he served stateside at the time) but the supposed battlefield braggarts exists only in Trump’s fetid imagination.

[Scurrilous]

31. K&R

[Garrett78]

34. And once a lie is out there, it only grows.

His supporters believe it and many who don't know any better will also. Telling people the facts tends to make them believe even more strongly in the lie.

The irresponsible media isn't any help.

All we're left with is outnumbering the opposition at the polls.

[G_j]

35. With the help of Breitbart, Infowars

and an army of Russian bots.
