Fact check: President Trump said truckers who were protesting industry problems were actually honking to support him. All three of Trump's claims were false. The truckers who have lined streets near the White House since May 1 are indeed protesters.

"And you hear that outside, that beautiful sound -- those are truckers that are with us all the way. They are protesting in favor of President Trump, as opposed to against," Trump said."There's hundreds of trucks out there, and that's the sign of love. Not the sign of your typical protest. So I want to thank our great truckers. They like me and I like them."At another Rose Garden speech later in the day, Trump said,"Those are friendly truckers.

"This is a protest," Anderson said."Mr. Trump elaborated that we were here to support him. Our message to him would be this is a protest against bad regulation, broker transparency, truck insurance, so on and so forth. This is not here to support Trump. We're here to get resolution and bring awareness to our problem and fix our problems."Recent trucker protests in other cities have raised issues similar to the ones being discussed in Washington.

Actually a lot of truckers support Trump

TNN - Trump New Network - You know this man is a liar. This is not news.

That POS is delusional

This according to CNN who selectively extracts phrases out of context to push their extremely biased leftist agenda. Russia hoax, whistleblower hoax, Quid pro quo hoax, abuse of power hoax, now covering up Obamagate, sensationalism over facts — need I say more?

FAKE NEWS!!!!

Ha ha ha ha he’s a fool

Hahaha!!! So funny. FAKE NEWS MEDIA CNN are such EMPTY HEADED CHILDREN.

TrumpTrash in full swing I see

Whenever we see claiming fact checks we need to run for cover so we don’t hear or read another one of their lies. is the most fake “news” outlets we have seen......EVER

If Trump lying on national television is at all surprising at this point you must be living in a cave with no electricity. What would be surprising is if he somehow managed *not* to lie on national television.

CNN, facts? Really don’t know if I buy that

ranumpowerplay Kinda like when you think pple are watching you you think they like you, but actually they’re there to just monitor your lies. fakenews

Distortion of news once again CNN. How many times are you going lie. How many times are you going to betray our country and its citizens. Lies of the liars, CNN

You are liberal media - why should I believe story

Cmon CNN you can do better than that....

CNN is more like a critic of Trump than a news channel FakeNewsAlert FakeNews

cnnistrash CNNisFakeNews

fOx = propaganda news..that’s why USA & Russia are the 1 & 2 countries in the World with the most positive cases of Covid-19 cases! Virus wins over dangerous, disinformation of the news and the many conspiracy theories🇨🇦🇺🇸

Interesting to see what comes out of his mouth..favorite words, beautiful, tremendous, Americans/great. Wonder what new word he will come up with next? Pompous?

How can he do that without even blinking an eye? I was watching as he lied to us, all of us saying those are my truckers out there honking in support of me. It is embarrassing realDonaldTrump

Aren't you a Trumphobe? How about some redemption? Stop fakenews

Why is this even news? Lost all your sources for any real news? lol

Just once, I’d love to see CNN report how often reporters and democrats lie...but that’ll never happen because they have an agenda

Missed the “again” part..

FACT CHECK: This is not news, don’t you have a heavier pail of water to carry for the DNC than this?

Well, we know by now that Trump puts a spin on everything.

If his lips are moving...he's lying.

CNN - you wouldn't know a trucker if one slapped you in the face...

.... The issues they are protesting are issues trump is protesting

TrumpFailedAmerica

I have no problem with CNN doing this. That is part of journalism. But I would like to see them doing it with Democrats too. Because that is journalism also. Not taking sides.

LOL Trump may hate China but they use the same tactics, no choice really, you got to lie to a liar because both won't listen to reason.

LOL... 'He lied on national television' Like that is something new.

Hey fake news!

'Fact check' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Totally forgotten during this crisis is the Motor Coach/Charter Bus Industry worldwide!How do you social distance and utilize one restroom for 50+ passengers in a 45 foot long bus? Team buses? Really?

Truckers have been protesting near the White House since May 1 and this is the first time I've heard about it?

Sounds like trumps the fake news. Color me surprised.

With everything thats going on here and around the world, this is a news story to you? No wonder Nickelodeon and HGTV have much higher ratings than you.

he is so desperate...
