On day 20 of the donald j. Trump presidency and it has been a day filled with fastballs. The president began with a dire warning about the security of this country and then he moved on to talking about his daughters business. With charges and counter charges flying, it can sometimes be hard to sort fact from fiction. Theres never been anywhere near the media dishonesty hike weve seen in this election. I understand the total sdo s dishonesty of the media. You are fake news. Reporter truth be told, President Trump has a complicated relationship with the truth. This week glaring examples of statements that are provably false. He told the troops at centcomm that the media doesnt cover terrorism. Weve seen what happened in paris and nice. All over europe its happening. Its gotten to a point where its not even being reported. Reporter appearing to ignore the gunman then came directly through this entryway a nation in shock what we know this morning from Police Reporter all evidence to the contrary. He told sheriffs the murder rate in our country is the highest its been in 47 years. Reporter not true. Take a look, we pulled crime stats from the fbi. You can see right there the murder rate is nowhere near the highest at this point. Reporter trump continues to make the case without offering any proof, that millions of voters committed voter fraud, casting ballots for hillary clinton. In that big super bowl interview, bill oreilly pushed back on that one. You say, for example, that there are 3 million illegal aliens who voted. Then you dont have the data to back it up. Some people are going to say thats irresponsible for a president to say that. Is there any validity to that . Many people have come out and said im right. But youve got to have data let me just tell you reporter the Trump White House has become northern for alternative facts which sometimes distort the truth, sometimes seem to ignore it altogether. When the president says sli Something Like this today believe me, ive learned a in the last two weeks. And terrorism is a far greater threat than the people of our country understand. Reporter should we accept that at face value . Is there a specific threat that he is talking about . And should the american public, based on that statement right there, be fearful . No, but i think the American People should understand that the president s committed to doing this. We face a very, very real threat in isis and radical islamic terrorism. And that weve got to do everything we can and that the reason he is taking the steps that he is, is because we are constantly we must remain ever vigilant. Reporter today we came to washington to see how its going for our colleagues in the trenches. We are here with Abcs Cecilia Vega who literally has a frontrow seat for all this. Youre sitting one over, yeah. The truth seems to be a moving target. Define the truth. Were playing define the truth in the white house. I dont know how that compares to past administrations but half of my day is spent factchecking. Is it your sense that this is because theyre winging it . Or because theres some sort of design, some sort of strategy . Its probably all of the above. This is a brandnew white house. Everybody that comes into this place is afforded a little bit of a honeymoon period or should be. Reporter its been a boon to comedy shows. Saturday night live having a field day. As you know, President Trump announced his Supreme Court pick on the national tv today. When he entered the room the crowd greeted him with a standing ovation which lasted a full 15 minutes maybe the best defense against the inaccuracies coming out of the white house is saturday night live. Reporter plenty of Trump Supporters are still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The misstatements, the allegations of exaggeration, outright lies, they really dont bother me very much at this point. I regard them simply as part of the fallout of a very heated Political Campaign and election. Reporter which makes fairminded journalism more important than ever. Yesterday cnns jake tapper gave a master class. Facts are stubborn things. To say were not reporting something that happens not to be true, therefore were not to be trusted, thats a problem. Well, jake, if i can take the broader issue of our relationship with the media, i mean, im among if not the most open press person in the white house, im now being attacked by the media, including networks that are familiar to you. Im just going to keep soldiering on. Reporter the Foundation Myth every schoolkid learns about the presidency is that story about George Washington and the cherry tree. Americas first president , pintsized in that famous painting, who even at age 6 could not tell a lie. But in truth, plenty of president s have prevary daicate. Chuck lewis, founder of center for public integrity, has written a book on the subject, 935 lies, all told by occupants of the oval office over the years. I came to washington during watergate. I was in the midst of watching and covering iran contra, abscam, all the worst scandals were had as a country, including the clinton years. Reporter a bipartisan affliction, from Richard Nixons whopper im not a crook. To bill clintons brazen denial. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Reporter even Ronald Reagan fibbed. The United States has not swapped boatloads of planeloads of american weapons for the return of american hostages. Reporter during a primetime address he ultimately apologized. My heart and my best intentions still tell me thats true. But the facts and the evidence tell me it is not. Reporter hard to imagine President Trump admitting even that much. Nowadays we seem to live in a postfactual world. What advice do you have for the reporters who are in the trenches covering this Administration Every day . My advice would be, just keep on covering everything thats said and check the veracity of everything thats said, and if its true, then report it straight. If its not true, point it out. Reporter its not just unraveling falsehoods. President trump prides himself on being unafraid to speak unpopular truths. And that gets a lot of attention too. An example from this weekend, his comments to bill oreilly about vladimir putin. Putins a killer. A lot of killers, we got a lot of killers, what, you think our countrys so innocent . Reporter not something any other president has said before. This is a president who shames critics into submission. Today trump took on retailer nordstrom for dropping his daughters fashion line from their stores. My daughter ivanka has been treated so unfairly by nordstrom, shes a great person, always pushing me to do the right thing, terrible. Shortly after the president put out that tweet, nordstrom issued a statement of their own saying theyre doing this for business reasons, that its not personal. They say over the past year, and particularly in the last half of 2016, sales of the brand have steadily declined to the point where it didnt make Good Business sense for us to continue with the line for now. They added that they have a great relationship with ivanka trump and her team. The worry is that these petty battles over side issues will serve mostly to drive up peoples cynicism, in the president and the press corps. And also that theyll distract from whats really important. I think what the president is doing is trying to convince a large swath of the public that the only person who can be believed is him. I think his supporters will give him a year. And they will theyll see what happens. It is possible that misstatements, errors of fact that are exposed, do take away some of the credibility. Thats unavoidable. But i think those of us who supported him, we reserve judgment on that until we get to the point of policymaking. Reporter its still early days. But were off to a rocky start. Im david wright for nightline in washington. Next here, were with the stars and creators of best picture nominee moonlight. Why they say this film is so meaningful to them. T the hospitl after a dvt blood clot, i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. And this is they like lobster party. Y, red lobsters lobsterfest is back with 9 irresistible lobster dishes. Yeah, its a lot. Try tender lobster lovers dream and see how sweet a lobster dream can be. Or pick two delicious lobster tails with new lobster mix and match. The only thing more tempting than one succulent lobster tail, is two. Is your mouth watering yet . Good. Because theres something for everyone, and everyones invited. So come in today. When mccraney began scripting what would one day become the film moonlight he says he was writing to process his pain. The coming of age tale now nominated for a best picture at the Academy Awards depicts a gritty reality based on his personal struggle in the face of bigotry, using words that can be painful and shocking to hear but it is exactly this type of hateful language that makes the storys message of acceptance so important. Heres abcs Chris Connelly. Reporter in mid1980s miami, shyrone, a bullied boy struggling with his identity, confides to his unlikely mentor the explicit slur thats been hurled at him. Whats a faggot . A faggot is a word used to make gay people feel bad. Am i a faggot . No, no. You could be gay, but dont let anybody call you a faggot. Reporter an ugly word turned into a profound teaching moment. How do i know . You just do. Reporter in its words and in its silences and in its hauntingly beautiful images, moonlight has been captivated audiences and nominated for eight oscars. With three actors playing shyrone as he grows to manhood, this coming of age story has been acclaimed for illuminating its characters with rare tenderness. Its so important you got to decide for yourself who youre going to be. Cant let nobody make the decision for you. The quality of the story, the aesthetic, being an art film, i was really attracted to, tackling subject matter i didnt feel had a light shined on it. Reporter a nuanced and raw portrayal of an africanamerican experience, a narrative historically absent in hollywood. Herschel alis a midlevel drug dealer. When he takes shyrone into his home its transformative for them both. This young man is at that point where he is going to be potentially persecuted. Good choice. Put it in your pocket. So i have to be here for him. He doesnt judge shyrone, you know. He doesnt judge the way he talks, the way he acts, anything he does. Shyrones used to being judged a lot . Yeah, very much. Reporter his vulnerability and yearning for connection is central to moonlight. Dont you get up, you stay down dont you get up reporter directed by Barry Jenkins from his and Terrell Mccraneys script. How far away did you grow up . Not far at all, 100, 200 yards, its crazy. Reporter although they didnt meet until they were adults, these two drew from reallife experiences they each had growing up. In a troubled Miami Housing complex during the height of the crack epidemic. In addition to geography, what else did your childhoods share as you got to know each other . The experience of our mothers who went through addiction to crack cocaine. Reporter mccraneys mother would die in 2003, the same year he wrote the play from which the film originated in moonlight, black boys look blue. How did your feeling about your mother shape itself as you dealt with what she was dealing with . I had a resentment. Then i found, as this film does, a lot of love for her. Even to this day, i remember someone asked me if i was upset with her. And i was like, i wish she was here to be upset with. Reporter familiar to audiences as moneypenny in the james bond films, Naomie Harris was convinced by jenkins to play paula. Give me the damn money reporter shyrones crackaddicted mother. We see her lash out at her son. She still loves him, doesnt she . Absolutely. She doesnt hate her son, she hates herself. Reporter shes the only performer in the film who acts with all three shyrones. I love you, shyrone. When you watch the movie its seamless transition between them because they have the same essence. Reporter by the time travon day rhodes is playing him, he cant conceal the ache at his core. One of the things in the movie is how the character changes himself. It was really important to place the stamp on the audiences mind that, yes, this guy has radically reshaped himself. I am beholden to travonte. What hes doing is showing the world what we think we know of black men, of black men questioning their sexuality, then he gives you this glimpse in their eyes. Even though the third act isnt exactly my life, were exactly the same. Reporter Terrell Mccraney is the recipient of a Macarthur Foundation genius grant, at yale drama school. You see me poised and Walking Around and seemingly selfassured. But it only takes a second to actually know that im terrified. That im very vulnerable. And i think that to me was the key to the film. I think stereotypes arise from outside the community. I know people watch these visuals, they bring expectations and assumptions into the cinema when they see herschel ali for the first time, aware were about to subvert those things. Reporter no moment in moonlight is more subversive than the one in which juan teaches shyrone how to swim. Films luminous beauty and depth of feeling smashing stereotypes. This moment of spiritual transference this body of water was the appropriate place for a grown black man to teach a young black boy a lesson about life. I got you, i promise im not going to let you go. That is a moment that felt so special to work with him, be teaching him how to swim. The joy that was captured in that moment for both of those characters. Yeah, man that scene right there is a real moment of emancipation. What did it feel like to do that scene . Amazing. Because i learned how to swim. Reporter the movie has already received critical acclaim. Berry jenkins. Reporter on this day attending the oscar luncheon at the beverly hilton, a chance just for a moment to reflect on their journey. Watch this film, tarell and i are essentially shyrone.
