Obama was a liar? Now THERE is a revelation. You won't get many arguments on this forum, given that 90% of those who get called Leftists are GOP voters.

"But she lied first!" is not an acceptable excuse from my 8yo. It certainly should not work for a POTUS.

called" doesn't not only mean public statement. It CAN be that but does not have to be.

The media can make it seem like whatever they want it to be.

If you look at this

You’re thinking “OMG Milo totally called for journalists to get gunned down on site”

Whenever that’s not even close to what he said.

Oh you were trying to have an adult conversation and are quickly retreating back to your 4th grade comebacks. I don't blame you. Probably a smart move.

No, because there aren’t any. And he knows it.

So for the OP’s premise to make any sense, we have to assume Trump was talking about one particular Steel company and not the US Steel industry.....

And you would have to be a complete moron to think anything other than this to be true if you watch the video of him talking about it.

Not sure what your source is saying but here is US Steel release..

PITTSBURGH, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) announced today it will restart the second of two blast furnaces (“A” blast furnace) at its Granite City Works, an integrated steelmaking plant in Granite City, Ill.  The restart of the “A” blast furnace will support increased demand for steel manufactured in the United States, while allowing the Company to continue to support customers during planned asset revitalization efforts.

“We are excited to announce that after the restart of the “A” blast furnace on or around October 1, all of the steelmaking operations at Granite City will be back on line, helping us meet an increased demand for American-made steel that has only grown since our March announcement,” said U. S. Steel President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Burritt. “After careful consideration of market conditions and customer demand, including the impact of Section 232, the restart of the two blast furnaces at Granite City Works will allow us to serve our customers’ growing demand for high quality products melted and poured in the United States.”

The Company will hire around 300 new employees for the restart of blast furnace “A” that will support increased shipments beginning in the fourth quarter.  In March, U. S. Steel announced the restart of Granite City Works’ blast furnace “B” and steelmaking operations that brought back 500 positions, filled by new and returning employees. The restart of blast furnace “B” is in progress.

Yeah and that's all great but that it isn't anything near opening up SIX new facilities

No way. When he said US Steel caled him, he clearly meant all of the steel industry as a whole.

---

Even though he bothered to make the distinction mere sentences later when he referred to the steel industry

I watched the rally last night. He said “expansion at six facilities and 1 NEW facility”

I think he even said that at least one of these is some other company.

WaPo hosted the video on their website. I'm sure you could find it on youtube as well
