The historical fact is that British forces burnt down the White House. Trump asked that not who was in the war in 1812.

What we have laid bare here, is the pathetic Anti-Trumpers with TDS, are just nitpicking over what is essentially a question, not a statement, Trump asked about Canada, so in essence he didn't actually say a statement of fact...

Most people assumed it was an rhetorical question. If it wasn’t then I would suggest it’s a bit weird for the President of the United States to be asking the Canadian PM relatively basic questions of US history.
It’s not a big deal, just poking fun at him, I don’t understand why people critising him bothers you so much. As you said in the other thread telling him to ignore ‘the haters’ as if we’re teenage girls talking about One Direction. I don’t think there is a famous person alive I would be so motivated to defend. Especially not a politician.

I didn't say you did and there were people who agreed with you.
However my only point was that these outlets were reporting the mainstream interpretation of the decision. First they were editoraising their headline to call a 7 - 2 decision 'close' but they weren't and instead they were incompetent which, while debatable, in probably unfair given it was not a uncommon reading of the decision even if it later turns out to be wrong.
