On 19 December 2016, the National Report web site published an article reporting that President-elect Donald Trump would make a stop on his victory tour over the Christmas 2016 weekend at famed Red Square, a plaza next to the Kremlin in Moscow, the capital of Russia: Trump has been traveling the United States, thanking supporters for his 8 November 2016 election victory, but that tour does not include Russia. This item originated with the National Report, one of many fake news web sites. A sampling of current headlines on the site's home page include an attempt at Onion-style satire (Area Mall Offering 10% Discount to Non-Active Shooters) and a play on Trump's prolific Twitter use (Trump to Limit All Intelligence Briefings to 140-Characters). Trump's spokesman, Jason Miller, told reporters that the President-elect will spend the Christmas holiday and much of the week leading up to it with his family at Mar-a-Lago, his opulent residence in Florida: This fake news item plays on recent media stories about the intelligence community's reporting the Russian government had meddled in the November 2016 U.S. presidential election with the aim of helping Trump win. Trump has said he doesn't believe these claims are true, calling them ridiculous, and certainly has not publicly thanked Russia for their purported interference on his behalf.
