The Washington Times is so great.

President Donald Trump is his own best advocate.

It’s no question that his presidency has been under siege by the liberal media, who have printed reports this week advancing the narrative that his administration is in bed with the Russians. They’ve also complained they’re being ignored, with Mr. Trump only calling on conservative-leaning organizations at his press conferences, and thereby avoiding tough questions.

Not Thursday. Mr. Trump took them head-on. And won.

The White House press corps bristled at the criticism and pounced when Mr. Trump made an erroneous claim that his Electoral College victory was the largest since Ronald Reagan.

In fact, Mr. Trump’s 304 electoral votes were surpassed by the winner in five of the seven other post-Reagan elections.

However, Mr. Trump has regularly made the claim that his Electoral College victory was the largest for a Republican since Reagan, with is closer to the truth. The last Republican with a larger win was President George H.W. Bush, with 426 electoral votes in 1988.

Lies are now “with is closer to the truth.”
