This is one of the most important moments ever aired on CNBC.
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says the media lied to millions of Americans about President Trump, and that after going back to the original source material, he realized he had been completely misled about Trump’s character.
PALIHAPITIYA: “The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump.”
“And if you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.”
“One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?”
“I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.”
“I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.”
“And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.”
“And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.”
“And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.”
“And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!”

THE BOMBSHELL VIDEO THAT SHOCKED AMERICA! 🛑 Donald Trump just broke the internet by reposting President John F. Kennedy’s prophetic warning about a “ruthless conspiracy” destroying the nation from within!
India Just Exposed China's Biggest Lie
China spends billions promoting the image of a futuristic superpower. Glittering skylines. High-speed rail. Cutting-edge technology.
But what if that's only half the story?
Indian netizens are breaking through China's Great Firewall and exposing videos of poverty, crumbling infrastructure, garbage-filled streets, and the reality many ordinary Chinese people face.
Mike Rowe is exactly right and this is something I have been fighting for throughout this entire campaign. The Pentagon needs 400,000 welders and electricians just for submarine contracts alone. Meanwhile Washington keeps funneling every young American toward a four-year college degree while the trades go begging for talent.
In Congress I will fight to expand federal funding for vocational training and apprenticeship programs and work to incentivize businesses to partner with community colleges and trade schools to create direct pipelines from the classroom to the job site. Every student deserves a dignified path forward and it should not require a four year degree and decades of debt to get there.
