Trump's Fox News deputy national security advisor fooled him with climate fake news | Dana Nuccitelli

What does it say about the Trump administration that the president was fooled by a dumb, long-debunked climate myth?

As Politico reported, Trump's deputy national security adviser, KT McFarland, gave him a fake 1970s Time magazine cover warning of a coming ice age. The Photoshopped magazine cover circulated around the internet several years ago, but was debunked in 2013. Four years later, McFarland put the fake document in Trump's hands, and he reportedly "quickly got lathered up about the media's hypocrisy " Staff chased down the truth and intervened before Trump tweeted or talked publicly about it".
