What do you expect from the mush-brained pedo who couldn't differentiate between Marla Maples and one of his rape victims.

That how they did it on The Apprentice. I don't think he knows that was a scripted TV show and not the real world.

This was the zenith of arrogance, stupidity, and intellectual property theft all at once by Trumpf to try and put the wool over the eyes of an African who spent time in prison but eventually became one of the wealthiest businessmen in South Africa.

The Dotard got the idea to ambush President Cyril Ramaphosa with photos from Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky. He showed Trumpf genuine photos of tortured Ukrainian POWs during their infamous Oval Office meltdown, to which Trumpf gave a cursory look and made feckless remarks: nypost.com

I'd imagine he was using Grok.

#4: Good one, Redial. BTW: I almost wrote an OP about PM Mark Carney establishing a Ministry of AI and Digital Innovation. I wonder why PM Justin Trudeau didn't think of that?

To be fair, they all look alike.

This is becoming SOP with Trump and his people, make a claim and then try and back it up with evidence that has nothing to do with the subject at hand. This happened dozens of times during his presidential campaigns.

White skin doesn't have good stretch, true.

Have you tried lotion?

This reminds me of when I lived in Asia in the late 2000's, and "CNN" became synonymous with photos from a different country to make a point after they used a photo of nuclear sites from Iran in a story about North Korea. Seems like this has been a common lazy practice in journalism for a long time.

Trump did not share journalism.
Trump shared propaganda.

Most journalism is propaganda.

Trump's propaganda isn't journalism.
Neither is yours.

Most maga maroons are idiots. Especially when it comes to journalism. Fox News is not journalism.

Actually journalists are not propagandists. And podcasters are not journalists.

Unfortunately there are less and less actual journalists anymore. Local news has been in decline and the total collapse of the country's local news ecosystem is imminent

In the U.S., 200 counties do not have a local newspaper, nearly 50% of counties only have one newspaper, usually a weekly, and more than 6% of counties have no dedicated news coverage at all.

If you think there isn't a huge overlap between journalism and mass media marketing, you really haven't been paying attention.

When you claim what Trump spewed is journalism, you're lying and you know it.

Trump spews alright.

Out of every orifice on his body.
