Stinging from the public's disapproval of his recent Muslim Ban, a furious President Trump went on the offensive earlier this week. Trump claimed the U.S. is under constant terrorist attack, and accused the media of severely under-reporting these incidents.
The President recently spoke to troops at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida on these alleged attacks, saying, "It's gotten to a point where it's not even reported, and in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn't even want to report it."
We're living in an era in which everyone's constantly walking around with a compact video camera in their pocket, so the idea that a major terrorist attack could ever go unreported seems dubious at best.
Nevertheless, the White House today released a list of seventy eight known terrorist attacks that were not reported by the news media.
