“President Trump broke his silence on Spencer Pratt’s insurgent campaign for Los Angeles mayor”
MISLEADING
The evidence does not show Trump 'breaking his silence' with a definitive statement. Instead, web search results state he 'may be preparing' to back Pratt or is 'considering' an endorsement. This suggests the claim of a definitive public statement is an overstatement of the actual evidence.
