"It seems we can interpret the “Trump announces defeat of IS and withdrawal of troops from Syria on Twitter” as “fake news” – to which even Trump himself seems to be party". It certainly looks like it must have been fake news. Those headlines shot around the world - "Trump withdraws from Syria: war over" etcetera. Around the Christmas table, a toast to America which is at last 'ending' the wars in Syria and Afghnaistan. As we know, a headline makes a deep first impression and one has to work hard to explain to people afterwards it might convey false news. Mr. Trump told reporters that the United States might base American commandos on the border in Iraq to launch raids and other missions into Syria. There you have it. Has *that* snippet been widely reported?
