It is, and it is a shame that he has a chance to be elected a second time by riling up a base with auch incoherent gibberish.
I mean if some 4chan troll put something like that on a screenshot of Biden we would know it is fake. But with Trump we need confirmation to know whether it is fake or real, because he regularly babbles incoherently.
once, to prove a point, I found a picture of the turd wearing khaki pants and pixelated his lower half.
I showed that picture to certain idiots in my extended family and they got incredibly pissed that I was calling out trump for being unprecedented.
"Yeah. but you didn't even question if it was real. didn't even stop to wonder if trump flashed an entire rally or whatever that was, of people."
So you perpetuate fake news to achieve your goal? And only the other guys are the baddies? Because Reasons?
No.
I made no assertions about the validity of the photo and explained it to them. It was in the context of just how presidentially unfit Trump was, and the whole point was that they believed it was real- which kind of requires telling them it’s not real.
You’re being intentionally ignorant.
Kind of like those certain idiots I was talking with. You’re so indoctrinated that you’re screaming “fake news” at something that was never presented as fucking news. When the picture was presented as suspicious to begin with. And that was the point.
