And I thought Boris Johnson was a liar

[DeYaKen]

But Trump has just trumped him with his facebook post.

The post shows a picture of protestors clashing with police at a Pro democracy protest in Ukraine in 2014 but Trump claims it is violent protests in America yesterday.

Seems that you guys aren't violent enough for him.

The imagery appears to have been made by campaign group "Evangelicals for Trump" and has mostly reached users in Florida and Texas who are older than 55, according to Facebook's estimates.


*yawn*


So, he posted a retweet.
We are shocked, shocked, shocked to find gambling going on at Rick's...

So the campaigner against fake news published fake news and that's not hypocritical?

I doubt if he even runs his own Twitter feed...

He has people and memos for that sort of thing.

because chaos IS the point

fareed:

At The Atlantic, Anne Appelbaum voices criticism of the actual events, as a mishmash of agencies under the Department of Homeland Security have been deployed in “jungle-camouflage uniforms with unclear markings, carrying heavy weapons, using batons and tear gas.” (Oregon’s Democratic attorney general has sued, alleging protesters are being nabbed off the street into unmarked vehicles, without being charged.)

But delving into the implications, Applebaum calls this “performative authoritarianism, a form of politics that reached new heights of sophistication in Russia over the past decade and has now arrived in the United States.” Applebaum likens the scenes in Portland to Russian President Vladimir Putin fomenting chaos in Ukraine—Applebaum recounts the 2014 demonstrations in Kiev, the country’s governmental crisis, and Russia’s incursion with unmarked military personnel—and then ginning up a domestic rallying cry against it.

In Portland, Applebaum writes, the “purpose is to transmit a message.” Rather than to instill “peace” in the city, it’s “designed to show just how much Trump dislikes ‘liberal’ Americans, ‘urban’ Americans, ‘Democrat’ Americans. To put it differently (and to echo my colleague Adam Serwer): The chaos in Portland is not an accident. The chaos is the point. … Now that it has been deliberately escalated, the violence will provide pictures, footage, video clips, and other material for Trump’s media supporters, and eventually for his campaign advertisements. On Fox News, Sean Hannity has already denounced Portland as a ‘war zone.’ Tucker Carlson has spoken of protesters as ‘mobs’ who keep liberal Democrats in power.”

You don't really doubt he does his own tweets, liar; you just can't think of a way to continue lying to back him up.

I have heard that a few other people tweet for him at times. That's old news. He certainly tweets 90%, if even that low.

It's pretty easy to tell when someone else gets their normal sized hands on Trumps iPhone and ghost tweets for him, because the messages are coherent and far less disturbing.

A few of the more "vanilla " tweets that came from Trump's Twitter account were most likely composed by Mike Pence.

Lucky for him the violent Democrat supporters are providing the chaos.

I saw an ad for Trump this afternoon. Approved by him. It was of an elderly woman watching something on television with a voice saying "Joe Biden is for defunding the police" or some shit. Then you hear a voice of ol Joe saying "I absolute do" or some shit. No dirdct quote of him saying anything of the sort. Then, on cue, a dark, black figure appears outside her windows, she nervously reaches for the phone and tries dialing "911". There is nothing on the other end. Her eyes widen as if to say "This is the end of me."..

Point being, Tump is fear mongering. That's what he wants, his people afraid. That's why he sends some scary dudes in unmarked vans to jump out and snatch people. Fear. Freak out his already cowering base and they'll HAVE to come out and vote. Make people afraid not to vote for the cheese dick. He pushes fucking fear because that's his diluted idea of a strong leader. He's no better than Kim or Vlad.

You need one more form of lie to create a truth...

*chuckle*


And this is why we're supposed to be afraid of Trump...





lol

 

[IceDemon]

Everyone loved Trump...until he stood against Hillary.

In fact, he does, and there's only one other person he trusts to tweet for him. But you knew that.

So, yes, hypocritical.

 

[SpeareChucker]

You know that I know that which somehow
is supposed to mean that you know more than me...



You read minds?
You seen me post about it elsewhere?
You're just making shit up to be garrulous?



I don't pay attention to any social media other than Lit.

To recap, you don't pay attention to any social media other than Lit.

With social media being the President's primary means of communicating with his constituents.

And you, an ardent defender of the President.

Either your BS is weak or you're dimmer than the average defender.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I am a defender?

Because I point out y'alls nonsense? lol

“It used to be in the old days before this, you’d write a letter and you’d say, ‘this letter is really bad,’ you put it on your desk and you go back tomorrow and you say, ‘oh, I’m glad I didn’t send it,’” Trump told Barstool Sports’ founder Dave Portnoy.

“But we don’t do that with Twitter. We put it out instantaneously, we feel great, and then you start getting phone calls, ‘Did you really say this?’ I say, ‘What’s wrong with that?’ And you find a lot of things,” continued the president, who is often the subject of criticism over his use of his Twitter account. “You know what I find? It’s not the tweets, it’s the retweets that get you in trouble.”

Trump went on to say he doesn’t always look closely at the tweets that he shares from his Twitter account, which has 84 million followers.

If that's what you think you're doing, you're going to want a refund.

That doesn't make any sense...

Dim it is.

that's it in a nutshell

remember when he said he thought people should treat him the way kim jong's do him

Everyone loved Trump...until he stood against Hillary.

like fuck

couldn't stand him, ever. he was a con, a shill, a pompous, inflated bozo

 

[Conager]

Must've been a slow pouteage week.

Is there anything at all that Trump can say, do, or tweet that won't result in ridiculous hysterics?

How 'bout if he retweets the very same picture with "stock photo" watermarked on it?

Maybe have Twitter time delay all Trump tweets, then set up a committee of "fact" checkers to decide what they will be outraged about and serve him with constructive notice of intent to pout so that he can better titrate his tweets.
