For some reason the Washington Post has trouble just telling us what Donald Trump says and does. It instead feels the need to go beyond this to make all sorts of inferences that are not supported by evidence.

Tonight we are told in a headline that, “Trump guarantees protection for those with preexisting medical conditions — but it’s unclear how.” This should have been written “Trump says he guarantees protection for those with preexisting medical conditions — but it’s unclear how.”

Someone reading the headline quickly might have thought that Trump actually made some sort of guarantee of providing health care insurance to people with preexisting conditions. He didn’t.
