Donald Trump and fake news , a much more solid story than with Fox News? Yet very rarely contradicted by conservative television, the American president was taken up during his last interview, by a journalist of the chain on words attributed to his democratic opponent Joe Biden on the police.
During the interview, filmed outside in front of the Oval Office and an extract of which was published before it was broadcast in full on Sunday on Fox News Sunday, Donald Trump attributed the increase in violence in certain cities in the United States to weakness, according to him, from their Democratic leaders.
Chris Wallace's impeccable counter
"They mismanaged them," insisted Donald Trump after journalist Chris Wallace told him that many cities had been run by Democratic mayors for decades. "It was always bad, but it's now completely out of control. And it's really because they want to cut funds to the police, and Biden wants to cut funds to the police, "said the president.
"No sir, he doesn't want it," countered Chris Wallace. Donald Trump then claimed that Joe Biden had signed a charter with left-wing Senator Bernie Sanders to reduce the budget for law enforcement. Again contradicted by his interviewer, the president asked his team to bring him the text in question, but the allegation was not there, then said Chris Wallace on Fox.
"Defund the police" is one of the slogans that emerged in the anti-racist protests that rocked the United States after the death of George Floyd in late May. Joe Biden is nine percentage points ahead of the Republican president in the national poll average for RealClearPolitics.
