And journalists outright lied about Trump not listening the the Italian PM claiming he did not have an interpretation earphone. Wrong. When is the fake news going to stop?

Legendary reporter Bob Woodward urged reporters this week to "calm it down and listen more" when covering the Trump White House.
Woodward also cautioned those in the media broaching Watergate and impeachment in speaking about investigations into the Trump campaign and possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
"In Watergate, when Nixon fired the special prosecutor (Archibald Cox), there was a mountain of evidence against him," said Woodward in a message to the media recorded in a video by The Atlantic.
"We are not at the Watergate level yet by any means."
While a British example, veteran political adviser Richard Grenell noted how President Trump was listening to the translation while the Italian prime minister was speaking during the G7 meeting. A reporter from the BBC insinuated the Trump was not listening in, but Grenell added that there was a single earpiece in his right ear. The reporter eventually tweeted a correction.
Grenell also served as the U.S. spokesman for the U.N. ambassador under the Bush administration.

Fake news. Trump has a single earpiece in his right ear. The media is so negative & people are tuning them out. This is a serious issue.
