He just made sure where and when it occurred. California has not fallen into the sea and it hasn’t started any fires.

AP should save that statement as a boilerplate for future articles.

That would be the normal way to say it in English. But MSM can't use the words "Trump lies."

So the headline is, in itself, a LIE.
