| The media continue to fall for President Trump’s trolling. | verified | https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/28/right-trolling-posts-political-opponents | Consider the Trump campaign of 2016.

🤖 Conclusion [40/100]: The original statement conflates several distinct and politically charged issues, and upon evaluating the claims with their references, much of it appears to be unsubstantiated or outright false. There is no credible evidence that people donated $100,000 to a woman for using a racial slur toward a child, nor to a black teenager accused of murdering a white teenager (references provided reject both claims). The anniversary of Trump withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal is supported by at least one source and is historically accurate. The claim that the media continues to fall for Trump's trolling is partially supported by commentary in reputable media analyzing the dynamic between Trump and mainstream outlets, though it's also partially an opinion. Given this, only about half the claims can be considered grounded in fact, while the others are speculative or incorrect, thus the truthfulness score is below average.
