CNN Panel Calls Out Donald Trump’s “Absurd” Claims During Chaotic Meeting With Canada’s Prime Minister

A routine Oval Office meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took an unexpected turn after CNN journalists blasted Trump’s statements live on air describing many of his claims as “absurd” and “detached from reality.”

The meeting, meant to be a simple photo opportunity, turned chaotic when Trump made a series of controversial remarks that quickly caught the attention of CNN’s Inside Politics panel. Guest anchor Manu Raju, along with correspondents Edward-Isaac Dovere and Daniel Dale, dissected Trump’s comments in real time, accusing him of “inventing reality.”

Dovere pointed out one of Trump’s more unusual claims that ICE officers were fighting “hand-to-hand combat” with Antifa in Portland every night. Dovere countered, “We have CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz on the ground in Portland, and that’s simply not happening. The White House is reacting to a version of reality that doesn’t exist.”

Fact-checker Daniel Dale tallied “at least five false claims” during Trump’s remarks including his boast that he secured $17 trillion in new investments for the U.S. “The White House’s own numbers say $8.8 trillion,” Dale clarified, adding that much of that figure came from vague pledges, not real investments.

Trump also declared that shootings had stopped entirely in Washington, D.C., a statement Dale corrected by noting, “Crime is down, but it hasn’t disappeared.”

Another of Trump’s remarks that U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan drug boats saved 100,000 lives was labeled “absurd” by Dale. He explained, “There were under 100,000 overdose deaths in total last year. It’s simply not credible that four or five boat strikes saved that many lives.”

Finally, Dale dismantled Trump’s assertion that the U.S. couldn’t sell agricultural goods to the EU before his trade deal, pointing out that “the EU was already the fourth-largest buyer of U.S. farm products.”

CNN the same network Trump has long accused of spreading “fake news” concluded the segment by saying that his statements were not only inaccurate but “deeply misleading to the public.”
