Trump Shares Fake Story From Satire Site

The Dunning-Kruger Times is a parody site that openly acknowledges that nothing posted on the site is real. The sites also says that if you believe anything they publish then "you should have your head examined." I guess that means Donald Trump is going to need another visit to the doctor because he shared a claim on social media from the site which stated that Barack Obama has received $40M in royalties from the US Government for the use of the name Obamacare. A White House spokesperson did not dispute that Trump believed the report was real. Donald Trump is a very stupid man.

Oh, geesh, what did he say this time? ...

From the cited article ...

... Donald Trump promoted the false claim that Barack Obama has earned $40m in "royalties linked to Obamacare" in a post to his 11 million followers on Truth Social on Sunday.

The fictional claim that the former US president receives royalty payments for the use of his name to refer to the Affordable Care Act, which he signed into law in 2010, has been repeatedly debunked since at least 2017, when it was featured on America's Last Line of Defense, a satirical website that produces fake news reports designed to generate engagement from outraged conservatives. ...

OK, my first question might be along the lines of ...

Is MAGA that dull to understand that it is an Onion-like satirical site?


I have other questions.

But, let's start with that one.

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Selling shoes
Another loser working in a shopping mall
9 to 5
A slave driver telling me "Get on the ball!"
A crowded store
I kneel before them
Misery beyond compare
Sweaty socks
A lady boxer
What's she got against fresh air?
I want an ocean and some sunscreen lotion
Take me to the beach with a thousand pretty girls in reach

CHORUS
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
...

As a child, we all read The Emperor's New Clothes.

Lots of us didn't understand it.

@#5 ... As a child, we all read The Emperor's New Clothes.

Good analogy.

An analogy that seems to beg the question ...

How long might it be, and what might it take, before MAGA comes to the understanding the Pres Trump seems to be focused upon increasing the wealth of the wealthy?

You are talking about the same people who watched video of J6 traitors smashing windows, busting doors, assaulting Capitol Police and try to tell the rest of us that they were just there for a tour.
