By Dan Desai Martin - February 15, 2019
Trump blew a gasket and trashed crime statistics from his own administration as 'fake news.'
Trump came completely unglued on Friday when multiple reporters pointed out that his racist rhetoric about immigrants does not match up with federal government data, including from Trumps own Department of Homeland Security.
I use many stats, Trump cried petulantly at one point when he was unable to come up with a specific rebuttal to the facts reporters cited.
The exchange came during a press conference in which Trump declared a national emergency to help him steal funds to build a wall along the southern border.
CNNs Jim Acosta asked Trump to explain the discrepancy between his claims that there is a national emergency at the border, and data from the Department of Homeland Security showing border crossings at a near record low.

Acosta probably would have nailed it, if that stats answer had been in response to his questioning.
