16: The Independent is super-clickbaity. (They're also the ones who spread the story that the big Trump-backed repeal-and-replace bill was called the World's Greatest Healthcare Plan Act.
17: Good point. They also spread the "Trump gave Merkel a bill for $300 billion" story, although it was the Times that originally reported it.
