Trump's Contradictory Statement on Illegal Aliens
Dialogue
Text content
For 8 months in a row, zero illegal aliens entered our country, unless they came in illegally
Overview
A screenshot of a White House press briefing featuring an individual standing at a podium with American flags and the White House emblem in the background. Prominent overlaid text reads: 'For 8 months in a row, zero illegal aliens entered our country, unless they came in illegally,' creating an obvious contradiction. A banner at the bottom left states 'THIS VIDEO HAS NOT BEEN FACT CHECKED BY USA TODAY,' and the 'US TODAY' logo is visible on the right side of the frame. The setting suggests an official press conference, with the individual appearing to speak at the podium.
Origin notes
The meme originates from a screenshot of a real White House press briefing, edited to include the contradictory text overlay. It was shared on Reddit, as indicated by the source information. The original video likely came from a news broadcast, with the 'USA TODAY' branding suggesting potential association with their coverage, though the fact-check disclaimer notes the content hasn't been verified by them.
