Fake

Welcome to the voice of America’s News Words.

This is a news word President Donald Trump often uses to describe media reports.

Fake.

We had hundreds of bidders; everybody wants to build our wall.

Some of the fake news said, “I don’t think Donald Trump wants to build the wall.”

Can you imagine if I said, “We’re not going to build a wall?”

Fake news.

Something that is fake is not true.

It can also mean something that is meant to look real, but is not.

In sports, “ to fake” is to move in a way meant to trick an opponent.
