Trump Just Makes Something Up Again
President Donald Trump made the false claim that “black home ownership just hit the highest level it has ever been in the history of our country.” That’s not remotely accurate.
The National Association of Realtors referred us to the Census Bureau, which has quarterly survey data by race dating to 1994 (table 16). The black home ownership rate was 42 percent for the third quarter of 2017 — the 87th lowest quarterly rate since 1994, according to the Census Bureau.

Re: Trump Just Makes Something Up Again
A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
Trump lies, not simply to deceive about a certain issue. He lies as a full on assault on truth in general.
Trump lies about everything, large and small. Sure, he lies to cover his misdeeds, but he lies for an even larger purpose.
He lies to replace reality with "reality"; to substitute factual truth with interpretive possibility.
It's absolutely Orwellian.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Trump Just Makes Something Up Again
Do any of his supporters even consider doing a 'fact check'? Don't answer. It was a rhetorical question.
