There was a telling moment yesterday when President Trump was pushing back against still more media accounts he views as unfair. TRUMP WALKS OUT OF BORDER SECURITY MEETING AFTER PELOSI REJECTS WALL PITCHEvery White House tries to sell a narrative to the public, and that often clashes with the media portrait. In that media availability, Trump said "the news incorrectly reported" the incident. "What you should do is give them Pinocchios" — handed out by the Washington Post fact-checker — because Mike Pence and Kevin McCarthy back his account of the meeting, Trump said. He flatly made that promise, leaving the impression that the Mexican government would somehow pick up the tab for the border wall.
