I hope that, if you are reading our blog, you are one to “test everything,” “cling to what is good,” and, in general, approach life “like a Berean,” examining what (Paul) said to see if what he spoke was true.
Good luck with trying to get a lot of truth out of the recent Donald Trump rallies this week.
I won’t make this post overly long and I’m not here to bash our President. You just need to know that, when he speaks, you should fact check from multiple reliable and relatively unbiased sources and then draw your own conclusions.
Here is a great chart to show you the relative bias of certain publications:

No one is perfect (I certainly am not!). BUT, there is a huge difference between those who make occasional mistakes vs those who have untruth after untruth coming out every single day (84% of his statements range from pants-on-fire lies to at best, only half-true – http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/)
Watch the video, read the fact-checking sites and then draw your own conclusions.
