Since you, yourself, note that Trump is trying to take credit for it, perhaps you should explain why their reasoning is wrong.
"The national debt fluctuates up and down depending on the day. While the debt is "down" after one month, experts say that trend will reverse and the debt will continue to rise.
This factoid is a gross misrepresentation of the state of the debt and the role the new president had in shaping the figure."
- coolgeek 10y agoTo clarify my reason for asking artursapek to explain - the tweet isn't a "hard and proven fact", it is a claim - albeit an implicit claim, but a claim nonetheless - as such, Politifact is evaluating the claim If artursapek disagrees with the analysis, he should either - explain why the Tweet is not a claim, or - explain why Politifact's evaluation of the claim is incorrect, misleading or otherwise wrong Otherwise, this is not an example of "a consistently liberal-biased source"
