A BBC reporter set social media ablaze Saturday morning when he claimed that President Trump wasn’t listening to a translation as Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni was speaking at the G7 summit.
Diplomatic correspondent for BBC, James Landale tweeted a “short clip that sums up” the summit with a video. The caption said Trump had “chosen not to hear a translation of his Italian host’s speech”.
If you watch the video, it is clear that President Trump is actually listening intently. He isn’t wearing visible headphones like everyone else; he chose to wear an earpiece in his right ear.

Of course this video went viral and caught the attention of the Trump-hating fake news media so they piled on. Every media outlet makes mistakes and makes corrections accordingly, however; these type of attacks on President Trump are done with malicious intentions. Shame on the media. This is why the media is hated, they have zero integrity.
