People do not realize there is an entire information ecosphere bent on supporting an alternate reality.

And we elected the government that lives in that ecosphere .

He wouldn’t want facts to get in the way of a good juicy conspiracy theory for his MAGA base to sink their teeth into.

Golly if only there was a way to check that stuff. It’s too bad there’s no way to refute that.

Never let facts get in the way of a good white supremacist false narrative.

Lie

@realdonaldtrump doesn't give a damn about the truth, but he DOES care a great deal about people believing the lies he tells. He's gotten away with his lies his whole life and sees no reason to stop now.

Trump is an outright racist, sexist, and xenophobe. He is outright corrupt and ignorant.

Sadly and tragically, this is okay with 45% of Americans. After all, starving children and locking up immigrant scientists are a greater danger to them than a corrupt & lying President.

Another false, misleading, fraudulent claim to embarrass the President of a foreign country and embarrass the American People🔥. SAD‼️

or just ask chatgpt, it will explain the situation correctly for now

If Trump gave a damn about white farmers he wouldn’t be waging a tariff war and canceling USAID. Food sits rotting in warehouses so he can game our stock market and accept foreign bribes.

Is this like those piles of "weapons of mass destruction?"

gordonvincent.bsky.social•10 days ago

Implying that that would have changed a thing. He knew he was lying when he did it.

harro93.bsky.social•10 days ago

Exactly how he wants it. An ignorant population fired up with nationalist nonsense

lost-soul.bsky.social•11 days ago

You think that he cares.

If a few of his “advisors” and billionaire buddies wanted to start WWIII all they would have to do is shove some doctored photos and analysis under his nose…..and then boom 💥

He's well aware that he has a massive, taxpayer funded government to REMOVE facts before he spreads conspiracies.

facts don't matter

patriotboy2025.bsky.social•10 days ago

MAGA doesn't care. We have a POTUS that shows photoshopped photos of a guy they sent to the gulag, and 77 million people believe it. And Abrego is still in prison, 2 months later. The bad guys are winning.

Intentional. Completely intentional…
Since he’s suffered NO consequences for his sociopathic behavior, why wouldn’t he continue it?

And he will not stop until he is stopped. He will never ‘intentionally’ stop on his own.

ThevTrumpFartForce has a profound effect on the weak-minded MAGAtses

thedentalmama.bsky.social•10 days ago

Good god people. This is only meant to stir up white fear of racial equality! Why would he care if it’s accurate?

koblitz.bsky.social•10 days ago

Oh, come on! He’s just as likely to take a tourist brochure of Pretoria and use a sharpie to draw in the crosses and insist that it’s credible evidence.
