I’d prefer we don’t lower ourselves to Trump’s level to push false claims for a temporary ego boost. There are plenty of real claims Trump and his cronies have made that are deserving of memes, this shit just muddies the waters.

@nova There’s true and then there’s not true. It was the not true things that got this guy elected with Hillary winning because of truth and losing. Truth is preferable no matter what.

@clare It’s the limits of his vocabulary. Once you get past “terrible”, “bad”, “great” and a few others he’s at a loss. OT but Eric the Spawn has announced a new trumpp is on the way. Woe is us.

It’s like the Merkel/Trump picture with the “hired Nazis” caption … false and true at the same time.

I know. It was a good day. It’s almost impossible to believe that it was this good.

We have to smarter than this. Fake news and false information is what drives the Trumpsters world view. We should have nothing to do with it. If you had thought about it you would have realized that if Trump had actually said this it would have been played over and over again by his opponents in the primaries, not to mention by the Democrats. By this measure you should have been suspicious and a simple google search would have led you to the truth.

One of the MSNBC reporters made the point that Trump’s wiretap allegations helped bring about a briefing that was quite damning for him. One that might not have happened at this point in time if not for the need to refute the wiretap claims. Heh…

You were expecting this maybe, alone with a bottle of water, papers, no phone interruptions and burning the midnight oil and living on 5-6 hours of sleep…

I did not mean to offer it as true and I never tell anyone here when or if I think they should be smarter, but thanks very much for your advice.
