Fake news in the 2020 presidential election began when Democrats tried to keep President Trump off the ballot with their impeachment sham.

Democrat primaries

Axios falsely reports Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign after the Florida primary.[1]

The LA Times reported that Pete Buttigieg blamed Barack Obama for the election of Donald Trump.

“ My message is not about going back to where we were,” he said.

For a lot of people, “‘normal’ has been a real problem for a very long time, and I think the failures of the Obama era help explain how we got Trump.[2]

”
The news set Twitter afire. Within hours the LA Times censored the itself and altered the quote.

In 10 debate appearances, Elizabeth Warren was never asked once about her false claims of Native American heritage.[3]

Iowa caucus

Due to Democrat corruption and election rigging, the Associated Press refused to recognize Buttigieg's claim of victory.[4]

Buttigieg was appointed by the DNC as Acting-Winner of the Iowa caucuses after an app designed by a shadowy group of Democratic operatives failed to accurately award delegates properly in the DNC's Stop Bernie attempt.[5][6] FEC records show the Buttigieg campaign also contributed to the Clinton-connected company.[7] The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), working in coordination with state elections officers, have an existing relationship to ensure computer systems and data collection systems are safe and secure. The DHS reported their offer to review the data system was rebuked by the Iowa Democrat Party.[8] The DNC lost the public's trust in the primary process on very first day of primary voting.[9]

Shadow, Inc. is the company that developed the Iowa and Nevada Democratic caucus app. FEC records show Buttigieg for America paid Shadow Inc. $42,000. Former Clinton campaign chairman Robby Mook vetted the app for the Democratic party.[10] Shadow, Inc. was launched by a dark money SuperPAC called Acronym,[11] headed by CEO Tara McGowan, a former journalist and Obama for America operative who is married to a senior advisor to Buttieg’s presidential campaign.[12] Acronym was founded by billionaire Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn. Hoffman funded Project Birmingham, a covert voter suppression and fake news campaign based on the Russian model during dirty the 2017 Doug Jones/Roy Moore Alabama Senate race. Obama crony David Plouffe sits on the board of Acronym.[13]

Bloomberg News, owned by Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, tried blaming Trump supporters for the Iowa caucus fiasco[14] after Democrat insiders stole election results from Bernie Sanders and attempted to hand a victory to Pete Buttigieg.[15] Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee blamed Russia.[16] The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), working in coordination with state elections officers, have an existing relationship to ensure computer systems and data collection systems are safe and secure. The DHS reported their offer to review the data system was rebuked by the Iowa Democrat Party.[17]

New Hampshire

CNN was caught flipping the poll results for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in the early primary state of New Hampshire.[18]

Wisconsin

Priorities USA produced an ad broadcast by WJFW-NB of Rhinelander, WI using digitally manipulated clips of President Trump’s voice to fabricate unsubstantiated meaning in the President’s words. The Priorities USA ad took different audio clips from President Trump and spliced them together, deceptively manipulating them into an entirely new sentence and adding misleading subtitles to create a statement the President never uttered: “The coronavirus, this is their new hoax.” As is clear from his full remarks, President Trump was referring to the Democrats’ politicization of the coronavirus crisis and likening it to their reaction to the Mueller Russia hoax and the sham impeachment. He has never said that the virus itself was a hoax.

Numerous popular fact checkers and news reporters have declared the mischaracterization of the President’s remarks to be false:

  • Slate’s Will Saletan: “He was saying the hoax is that he’s handled it badly. Not the virus itself.”
  • CheckYourFact: “Trump referred to the alleged ‘politicizing’ of the coronavirus by Democrats as ‘their new hoax.’ He did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax. Throughout the speech, Trump reiterates his administration is taking the threat of the coronavirus seriously.”
  • CBS 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley: “He said the—the Democrats making so much of it is a Democratic hoax, not that the virus was a hoax.”
  • Snopes: “Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.”
  • The Washington Post: “The full quote shows Trump is criticizing Democratic talking points and the media’s coverage of his administration’s response to coronavirus. He never says that the virus itself is a hoax[.]” (Highest falsehood rating of Four Pinocchios.) *PolitiFact: “The video makes it seem like Trump is calling the disease itself a hoax, which he hasn’t done.”

Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. filed a lawsuit against WJFW-NBC for defamation in the wake of an advertisement carried by the station that contained intentionally false and defamatory statements about President Trump. In spite of a cease-and-desist the letter and documentation, WJFW-NBC continued to run the defamatory ad.[19]

President Trump

See also: Mainstream media and Donald Trump

While a complete summary of fake news about Donald Trump is too exhaustive to compile, these are some of the more relevant and ridiculous mainstream media narratives manufactured to criticize the 45th President.

Coronavirus hoax

President Trump referred to Democrats efforts to politicize the coronavirus as 'a hoax'; liberal media and Democrats immediately parroted the line that President Trump called the coronavirus a hoax.[20] Politico and MSNBC peddled the Trump “hoax” story. So did Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, Rep Ted Lieu, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Former Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe.[21]
