Donald Trump has Tweeted his support for the lawsuit filed against the Washington Post by Covington Catholic Student Nick Sandmann.
“The Washington Post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump.” Covington student suing WAPO. Go get them Nick. Fake News!

The president quoted the lawsuit, tweeting:

Only 20 minutes earlier, he tweeted this. Was this about Sandmann, or just a comment on the state of the news?
The Press has never been more dishonest than it is today. Stories are written that have absolutely no basis in fact. The writers don’t even call asking for verification. They are totally out of control. Sadly, I kept many of them in business. In six years, they all go BUST!

This is the first lawsuit among many that have been promised. Sandman’s attorney has filed suit against the Washington Post for $250 million, the exact same amount Amazon zillionaire Jeff Bezos paid for the paper in 2013.
