New Google Chrome extension fact checks Trump's tweets for you

[TheOldSchool]

We made a tool that slips a bit more context into Trump's tweets. It's still in the early stages, but our goal is to provide additional context where needed for Trump's tweets moving forward (and a few golden oldies). For example, here's what it shows in relation to that Trump tweet.

Still not perfect — but at least readers will see more information without having to read Weigel's full post (though they should, of course.)

Sometimes, we just add more context, like when Trump announced his pick of Rex Tillerson to serve as secretary of state. Curious for more info? It's right there in the tweet now.

It takes a little while for the Chrome extension to update, so we'll try to stay up to speed on fact-checking what Trump is tweeting, but it may take a few minutes. This is a work in progress, so don't hesitate to offer feedback and thoughts.

And don't hesitate to point to Trump tweets that could use a little explication. That's the goal, after all.

I don't expect republicans to use the extension since they treat Trump's tweet's as gospel and abhor anyone or anything that decides to fact check him. But it might be a useful tool if you use twitter and are interested in the truth.

I assume they'll be doing this for all politicians.

Right?

Right?

Why should they?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Fox News is claiming that Trump won the election. We all know that Fox lies, so where can I get the actual election results?

Who is really POTUS 45?

Donald Trump's tweets have taken over as a news source for many of his followers. No other politician comes anywhere close to having that kind of power and so factchecking them would be pointless. Trump has 17 million followers.

And who fact-checks the fact-checkers?

Oh, I'm just kidding. I realize this just political.

Cool...now I'll know which ones are important....

Why should they?

Because they all lie more than Trump.

Of course you believe every word they say

ID love to see him fuck with it. Say the declaration was signed in 1976, since all the democrats would believe him.

If you don't like it don't get it. I realize Trump is God to some of you people.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Maybe if there was more fact checking on Hillary Clinton's lies the Dems could have run a better candidate.

Dems want everyone to ignore the corrupt content of the emails and blame Russia.

Sorry Dems, we know how corrupt you and the MSM are.

Harold Hickenlooper

(the Russians snuck him in and created billions of votes for him)

BFD ever tweet he puts out the media analyzes as if they were the Ten Commandments being brought forth by Moses.

You must be very proud there are apps out there that can turn the internet into a safe space for you.

Your minds are so feeble and fragile, you actually need an extension to correct opinions you don't like.
