Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

I’m calling it now, when Trump finishes his WH Ballroom, he will rent it out as an event space for galas like a Cipriani’s in NYC. He will take a big chunk of the fees and his corporate friends & fake charities will have bragging rights.

I'm off to Munich to speak at Medientage München. My message: US democracy is dying. US mass media are dead, and deserve to be, as they did not protect democracy. Our only hope in the US is new and independent means for voices to heard. Europe should learn from America only how to avoid our fate.
