Trump alternate facts last week!
Pretty average week for the Trumpster
"Great jobs numbers and finally, after many years, rising wages- and nobody even talks about them."

in fact: Wages have been rising since 2014. As PTheir was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!"

in fact: Trump was not "vindicate(d)" by the Republican memo that alleged FBI wrongdoing in one part of its investigation into the Trump campaign's links to Russia. Even if one were to believe the memo in its entirety -- even though the FBI says there are "material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy" -- the partisan document does not prove that there was no collusion between the campaign or the Russian government, or that Trump did not attempt to obstruct justice. At best, for Trump, it suggests that the FBI may have been misleading, by omission, when it asked a court for a warrant to conduct surveillance on a former Trump campaign adviser (Carter Page) who had already left the campaign. The investigation, now being led by special counsel Robert Mueller, is much broader. "I actually don't think (the memo) has any impact on the Russia probe," Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, who described himself as "pretty integrally involved" in drafting the memo, told CBS two days after Trump's tweet. He continued: "To the extent the memo deals with the dossier and the (intelligence surveillance court) process, the dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower. The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos' meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn't have anything to do with obstruction of justice." As Gowdy was suggesting, the question of Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government is far from "dead." Mueller's probe remains active; Mueller, of course, has already secured guilty pleas from two officials from Trump's campaign, Papadopoulos and Michael Flynn, for lying to the FBI about their interactions with Russians.olitiFact reported: "For much of the time between 2012 and 2014, median weekly earnings were lower than they were in 1979 -- a frustrating disappearance of any wage growth for 35 years. But that began changing in 2014. After hitting a low of $330 a week in early 2014, wages have risen to $354 a week by early 2017. That's an increase of 7.3 percent over a roughly three-year period." The recent acceleration of wage growth under Trump has received extensive media coverage.
