Eh, the facts of the story are not being disputed. President Trump is holding a campaign event this weekend and that was the only facet of the story I was interested in. 'Embellishments' and the source are pretty much irrelevant to the point I was making. The campaign season is too long and basically never ends now.

That explains his latest tweet bashing US Healthcare in a way as if he were still campaigning and making crazy promises.
Everyone on here especially Trump sycophants should be required to have a Twitter following Trump. He bashes the Hell out of the US in every way just like the anti-American spoiled rotten Trumpists.

I am normally highly critical of President Trump's Twitter usage but his latest Tweet is actually legit:
@realDonaldTrump
Venezuela should allow Leopoldo Lopez, a political prisoner & husband of @liliantintori (just met w/ @marcorubio) out of prison immediately.

Mr. Lopez should be released as I'm fairly certain he did not incite violence through the use of subliminal messages.
The outcome of the trial was unsurprising. The justice system in Venezuela has long been at the service of its authoritarian government, which has grown increasingly brazen in its efforts to sideline the opposition as confidence in President Nicolás Maduro has plummeted.
The charges against Mr. López, a Harvard-educated former mayor of one of the municipalities that make up Caracas, were scurrilous. Mr. Maduro ordered his arrest in February 2014 and charged him with stoking violence as demonstrations against the government were spreading. The government, in its criminal complaint, preposterously claimed that Mr. López had incited Venezuelans to violence through subliminal messages.
