"Where even the showers are golden!" - an ad for Trump's hotel room
In honour of the biggest news story of the week, Because News brings you this "Russian" advertisement targeted to all American wannabe-presidents.
How crazy is the unsubstantiated Trump dossier? Here are just a few of the allegations that surfaced:
- Trump had Russian sex workers soil a hotel bed Obama once slept in
- Russia has been helping Trump for the last 5 years
- Trump campaign staffers colluded with Russians during the election campaign
Trump says it's all lies and the head of national intelligence says there's no evidence these allegations are based on any reliable information.
The day after reports appeared, Trump used his press conference to label CNN a fake news organization, taking another step toward convincing the American public that his Twitter feed is the only reliable source of information.
This week on the news quiz, we see if the panel knows the details of Trump's out of control press conference. What did he say about Putin? What reasons did he give for why the allegations can't be true? And who was on the receiving end of the comment, "Don't be rude!"?
