It’s come to this…
Journos are fact checking President Trump on the total number of burgers he bought for the Clemson football team:
Hamburger-count journalism. We live in amazing times.

At issue is if the number is “more than 300,” as was reported yesterday:
President Trump welcomed the NCAA national champion Clemson Tigers football team to the White House with a shutdown smorgasbord of fast food offerings he called "great American food," including piles of pizza and fries and more than 300 burgers. https://t.co/2nhasa92DF

Or is the number closer to 1000, as the president tweeted about this morning:
Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2019
Hopefully, the MSM can soon get to the bottom of this important issue!
I should note that, at one point tonight, President Trump said he bought 300 hamburgers. Later, he claimed he bought 1,000 hamburgers.

When lying is second nature: Last night the president said there were “more than 300” hamburgers. Now it’s “over 1000.” https://t.co/vebFVxHHNq

Covfefe translator: 300 hamburgers = 1000 hamberders

White House yesterday: Trump ordered 300 hamburgers for the Clemson Tigers.
Trump today: I ordered “over 1000 hamberders etc.”

They’re correcting his spelling mistake, too:
He bought 300 "hamberders" … not 1,000. But who's counting? https://t.co/BHgK3cJs4E

Trump to media yesterday: "We have 300 hamburgers"
Trump to Clemson yesterday: "I go out and send for about 1,000 hamburgers"
Trump this morning: "I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders"— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) January 15, 2019
Never change.
