These are grapes!

Dear America, those are grapes you see in the image above. 

Serious question for trump supporters: If Mr. trump told you that those were apples in that image, would you believe him? 

I think you would. Or, he certainly thinks you would.

That can be the only reason he told you that Lester Holt "fudged" that 2017 interview with him. (Yeah he said that.) 

Now I saw that interview, and I gotta tell you, I am as sure that Holt and NBC didn't "fudge" that interviews, as I am that those are grapes in that picture. 

"Trump seems to be referring to a May 2017 interview, aired just two days after the president fired FBI director James Comey. In the interview, Trump called Comey "a showboat," and appeared to reject an official White House explanation for the firing, telling Holt "the Russia thing" was on his mind when he decided to fire Comey. "I just said to myself, I said, 'you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story, it's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.'"

The interview was sensational enough at the time to be mocked by NBC's Saturday Night Live, in which Holt, played by Michael Che, thinks he has finally caught the president, only to discover that nothing Trump says matters. "Wait, did I get him? Is this all over? No, I didn't? Nothing matters? Absolutely nothing matters anymore."

The real interview aired on Nightly News, and NBC News published an extended version online. Trump offered no explanation of how NBC might have "fudged" the interview, in which the most explosive words came from the president's own mouth. From the time the interview aired until today, no one has accused Holt of altering the interview--and he was never "caught" or "hurt badly" as a result."

Finally, speaking of trump's attack on the media, some typical trump supporter was just arrested in California for making death threats against a major newspaper. 

 "A 68-year-old Encino man was arrested and charged Thursday with threatening to shoot employees at the Boston Globe after the newspaper’s editorial board pushed back against President Trump’s frequent attacks on the press.

About two dozen federal agents in tactical gear and an armored vehicle arrived at the stucco single-story home of Robert D. Chain just before 6 a.m. Neighbors said they heard small explosions, like the bursting of flash-bang grenades, before Chain was led from his house dressed only in a pair of shorts.
Chain was charged with one count of making threatening communications and appeared in federal court in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Massachusetts. He was released on $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in federal court in Boston on Sept. 24.

Chain began making phone calls threatening to travel to the Globe’s offices and shoot employees shortly after the paper announced Aug. 10 that it was launching a coordinated campaign with other newspapers to publish editorials calling on Trump to end his rhetoric about the news media, prosecutors said.

Chain made 14 threatening calls, both from his home phone and his wife’s cellphone, to the newspaper between Aug. 10 and Aug. 22, according to prosecutors. He called the Globe “the enemy of the people” — repeating one of Trump’s most-used phrases for attacking the media — and threatened to kill newspaper employees, prosecutors said.

In one profanity-laced call made Aug. 13, Chain said, “We are going to shoot you … in the head, you Boston Globe…. Shoot every … one of you,” according to court documents.

On the day the editorials ran in newspapers across the country, Chain called the Globe newsroom and threatened to shoot Globe employees in the head “later today, at 4 o’clock,” prosecutors said.
Court documents indicated Chain was recorded on Aug. 16 saying: “You’re the enemy of the people, and we’re going to kill every ... one of you. Hey, why don’t you call the F? Why don’t you call Mueller? Maybe he can help you out, buddy.” [Source] 

Wait until you get a look at this guy. If you are not afraid for America after seeing him, I don't know what will scare you.
