I believe Democrats & fake news

The Trump people decided to take the nation’s pulse. They sent out an email Thursday with the subject line “Vindicated.”

It went like this:

Since even before Inauguration Day, Democrats, the media, and the entire opposition have tried to take down President Trump by resorting to nasty attacks and spreading fake news.

But President Trump has fought back and been vindicated time and time again – and he will KEEP FIGHTING to deliver on the promises he made to you, the American people.

Then it asked a super-serious important question:

What happens if you click on the second option, the one for bad stupid people?

They send you here:

Heads they win, tails we lose. We can give them money, or we can give them money. Very scientific poll! Or actually not a poll but just a “give us money” email.

You’d think the inflated profits on the Old Post Office hotel and Taco del Mar would be enough.

    Time and time again? You mean like way back in February and March?

    Wow, those two options are really something. They should be used as the illustration for “leading question” in some future encyclopedia.

    I will freely admit that Nazi comparisons are hyperbolic in the absence of world wars or genocides, but sorry, the first thing that comes to my mind is nonetheless this, which I remember from my high school history classes.

    Seth, yeah the sheer arrogance of that move is stunning. Not to mention that NATO and other countries have ended up contributing to various wars the USA has succeeded in dragging us into since the 90’s. Maybe Trump would rather withdraw from NATO, let Putin take over much of Europe either directly or as de-facto states and then retire for someone else to sort out the mess best deal ever.

    Alex SL, that is a beauty.

    Survey options:

    1. I consider Donald Trump to be a member of the human race.

    2. I am a stupid person who believes stupid things.

    “Holy crap, look at the landslide support for the Trump government and all its policies! Vindicated”
