    The (non-vandalized) version of this image is a fake. Do not continue to spread it around.

    There is plenty of real stuff out there to make fun of him for.

      There are also real moments from this video where he is clearly sleeping, just at a different angle. Faking a picture of him sleeping from a video where you can find pictures of him actually sleeping is a weird thing to do

      I don’t know, there’s so much fake shit out there, I don’t particularly see the harm in sharing an image of Trump that’s slightly doctored to be slightly more embarassing

        I do see the harm. “Everything that looks bad is fake” is not very far from what this guy has said before, and more fake stuff circulating makes it easier for his 30% to believe him.

          Don’t blame the rest of us for the Dipshit segment that will support him in anything. It doesn’t matter if they are doctored photos or true photos, their reaction will be exactly the same.

            It does matter, though. That dipshit segment is lost. But there’s a big chunk of people who swing side to side. Tons of people are constantly telling them “both sides bad” (including quite a lot of .ml users on this platform). It’s not true.

            But if we start saying it’s fine to lie and manipulate images like this, then it becomes a little more true.

              As I said in another post:

              I get that, but it isn’t really a lie, because he DOES fall asleep, OFTEN. So who cares if it isn’t an actual photo of him doing what he does all the time? It would only be wrong if it was a picture of a behavior that he never does, or is the opposite of the truth.

              I don’t know why they didn’t use an actual photo of him, there are enough of them, but this is close enough to the truth, that it doesn’t bother me.

      Who fucking cares? Gawd, Democrats are so weak. Don’t be polite to these PedoCon Traitors. We all know the only thing that stops a bully is bullying, so MAGA is the only group for whom it is totally acceptable to bully, and it is strongly encouraged.

      Embarrass them, humiliate them, shun them, make fun of them, mock them, give them nasty nicknames, steal their lunch, spread rumors about them, make pig noises when they talk, let the air out of their tires, make fun of their clothes, lie to them, don’t tell them important stuff at work, fire them, don’t hire them, give them the shit assignments, don’t give them the good leads, short their paychecks, etc. Make them know how much they are despised. Make them CRY.

      Also Anti-vaxxers.

      Edit: LOL, I call Dems weak, because they are, and they prove my point by backing Trump, and downvoting me. Fucking hilarious. Dems actually helped Trump get elected a second time, but I’m the asshole. This is why I have been an independent since registering to vote 50 years ago.

        I agree with almost every one of the things you suggest.

        But what makes us better than them is that we don’t have to lie. There is plenty of real stuff to throw at them. If we lie, it lets them call us liars, and they can more easily ignore the real stuff.

          Bucko, they make up things their “opposition” says, to then call that a lie. C’mon.

          Keep your principles, they’re fuckin important, but know your enemy, sheesh.

      Who fucking cares?

      He is falling asleep during meetings and slightly exaggerating it isn’t a fabrication, just fun mockery.
