[…] Trump did not post a 2012 tweet saying the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 1,000 points in two days should result in a U.S. president's immediate impeachment. […]

[…] i don’t appreciate how you deleted then reposted to spam my notifs.
What? I haven't deleted, nor reposted anything in this context. Are you sure you aren't just getting a ping because I @mentioned you in the comment's references ^[1]^?

"Did I say that? I can't believe I said that."
He actually never did say this one. It's a joke.

This kind of misinformation (OP) should either be tagged or not allowed at all. Like, most of us understand it's a joke but still, maybe we should have better standards than other sites.
I wanna start a contest for a little parody label watermark we can apply to the corner of memes like this
yall i got to it as soon as i had time to edit the post and i thanked and upvoted the fact check as soon as i got the notification
literally chill. it’s now tagged. this is a meme community.
he didn’t say that it’s a meme
I know, he just also recently said that when he was asked if Zelensky is a dictator
/gen? would love a source if so i must have missed that
It'd be fun to see him explain it as someone else, hacked account for example which would say either he or Elmo can't keep a password safe.
As much as I admire this, it must be remembered that the Orange Clown does not play by any rules, including those he imposes on others.
Especially those he would impose on others.
The hypocrisy is purposeful; it's a power move.
thanks for fact check, appreciated :)
:)
Me likes a quick pre-post web search so I can make note of something like that in the post body
Give ourselves some ammo on the moral battle of mis/disinfo 😎
you got it thanks for being nice everyone else is such jerks about it :)
The goal is to make short term bank and leave everyone else in the country, including the country worse off.
Theyre essentially pumping and dumping america
One last big heist for old times' sake
You son of a bitch, I'm in
Same reason why they're trying to sell off all the public land and government buildings in order to create a "sovereign wealth fund" full of dubious "investments" like crypto controlled by their cronies. It's about to be literally the biggest scam ever perpetrated in America.
Someone ping me when impeachments mean something.
Trump has been impeached already.
Remember Obama and Ebola? Trump said that if one American died from Ebola then Obama should resign. A million dead and he ran again.
Now we have measles killing kids. At least kids were mostly safe from COVID. And we already have a vaccine for measles so there is no reason for the deaths.
Good old Pandemic Don
Why are we posting straight-up lies?
because i didn’t know also it’s a joke and impacts no one.
post is now tagged.
Yes I know this has been fact checked, but I don't want to complain about that.
I want to complain how often we hear "down" or "up" by points or dollars over a very short period of time.
It should always be talked about in %. Because people who invest the money don't give a rats ass about the $ or point increase or decrease. They want to know how much they lost or gained.
Unless you are a broker or market maker, then you care, because it becomes about the volume of trades rather than the actual gain/loss.
Yeah, and 1000 points in 2012 is 3000 points today. The dow won't drop 3000 points because they'll just halt trading.
this is true and no one but you is saying it
There's always a tweet.
it’s not real heads up
Tell me this guy and probably his controllers aren't shorting on the DOW 🤷♂️
There was a time when I loved all the hypocritical call outs for Trump. Now it is just depressing knowing none of it matters. He’s gonna say bullshit and his supporters are going to know it is bullshit and still love it.
don’t worry the whole thing is made up :) fully fictional content
Honestly, who can tell anymore?
