Donald Trump Jr.'s fake news tweet about fake news

Post by _MeDotOrg »

Donald Trump Jr. is highly concerned that the coverage about the damage of Hurricane Florence is only being shown to make his father look bad. He tweeted this picture to support his allegation:

So, the idea is that Anderson Cooper is standing in deep water to make the damage look bad, and by proxy make Donald Trump look bad. \Very convincing argument, except for one thing:

The photograph was taken in 2008.

Does anyone in this family actually check to make sure if they are telling the truth? In Don Junior's case, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Subbie will tell you no one cares about facts so this was a good way to counterpunch against the bed news Trump is trying to stave off. Because for subbie allegiance to anti-liberalism is the highest truth.

Trump may be a conman but he's a successful one. They apparently understand their loyal base well. Too bad for them that market has a relatively low ceiling before one is into discriminating types interested in trivial things like facts.

Everyone is conspiring against Drumpf. The Media. The Democrats. Foreign countries. John McCain dying when he did. China. Mexico. Canada. NATO. The Justice Department. The courts. His own administration.

And of course, the weather. It is probably because Mother Nature accused Drumpf of sexual harassment, which was obviously fake news. Nobody treats Mother Nature better than Drumpf.
