Trump tweeted this morning that he was right all along about Roy Moore:
The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!

Well that’s an interesting take. Trump is always right, right?
But before you doubt him, Ashley Killough from CNN verifies that he is indeed correct in his assertion:
What Trump said at the Luther Strange rally: "You've got to beat a Democrat (in December). Luther is going to win easily and Roy's going to have a hard time winning. But I will be backing him if he wins (the primary). I will be backing him, OK? I'll tell you that." https://t.co/ZLjST59KIM

He might have been right about Strange, but clearly Strange wasn’t the guy who Alabamans wanted. And if it weren’t for all of these attacks in the last month or so, I think Moore would have won as well.
Trump also tweeted this about his use of social media:
Wow, more than 90% of Fake News Media coverage of me is negative, with numerous forced retractions of untrue stories. Hence my use of Social Media, the only way to get the truth out. Much of Mainstream Meadia has become a joke! @foxandfriends

That percentage is high, but I don’t think he is wrong. Most of what you see in the media is negative about Trump and it’s been that way since he won the election.
The media cried for Obama when he won. But with Trump they became enraged and they want to make sure he doesn’t ever win again.
