  1. Perhaps media manipulation is the only way the GOP front-runner can get the kind of press he desires.

  2. “What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.” – Trump

  3. This headline is muddy. Trump is altering pre-existing articles from real news sources and then posting those faked/altered articles as screenshots.

    Because of course he does.

  4. Biden admin: could youn please not share that shit, its harmful to effort to reduce harm from a pandemic 

    Republicans: freeze peach! 

    Rump: NYT found that blifhy hdyd hhduy

    Republicans: Space

  5. He’s posting edited versions of Newsweek. Newsweek apparently isn’t flattering enough for him.

  6. There is no bigger enemy to Donald Trump than reality. His entire worldview is based on objective nonsense, and so he’s constantly bumping up against reality. Literally nothing the man says is true, from the tiniest details to his biggest vision, it’s all lies. Let us defeat the orange blob whose hair is cotton candy made from piss one last time so that we can be done with him once and for all.

  7. Are we that stupid that this article needs to be published?

  8. Trump’s deceitful tactics undermine credibility and integrity of journalism

  9. Misleading tactics erode trust; truth matters more than political allegiance

  10. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”. – George Orwell, *1984*

  11. I have a picture in my mind of a political cartoon where a guy wearing a Newsweek tracksuit is felatiating Trump and Trump going, no, not good enough, let me do it. Meliana! Oh, right, can’t talk to her. Ivan… Bah, I’ll just do it myself.

  12. What’s worse? Trump ordering some intern to modify these articles or the intern who is gladly doing it? I know that man does not know how computers work let alone editing software (as basic as MS paint).

  13. How low can he go? – nobody really knows…..

  14. Given that I doubt he has the required skills to make edits like that I expect someone on his staff sent him the edited articles to ingratiate themselves with him and he just posted them.

  15. pretty sure that material is copyrighted by default

    seems to me Newsweek might be able to get in on some of that legal action.

    Trump likes to play that life game called “Kick Me”… re: Games People Play by Dr. Eric Berne.

  16. Somebody in the Trump camp has been reading the Cliff Notes to **1984**.

  17. It’s not tRump…it’s his henchmen….he no got the big brains for that….

  18. Biden should do the same thing. See how Trump reacts

  19. Seems like those media outlets have a legal case against Trump for possible defamation.

  20. It’s totally not a cult you guys. This is all super normal.

  21. He’s taking screenshots of articles and editing anything bad about him out and posting those screenshots to his shitty Truth(lol) site.

    He’s posting lies to a website he calls “Truth” 😆.

    What a scumbag.

  22. This headlines is kind of not well written, a bit confusing even.

    Let me fix it “Trump lies on everything, everywhere and always.”

  23. I doubt he’s sharp enough to to to pull fake news off vs just hitting the share button on something that confirms his opinion.

  24. Trump, while labeled “Don the Con” by the press, became his own PR. This is something he’s done for half a century. Let that truly sink in. The man had done nothing but lie since he hit the papers and never stopped.

  25. What is one more lawsuit for Trump … someone please land the grifter in jail. I pray every day for people to leave the cult.

  26. I can already hear the mental gymnastics the redcaps will use to bury their cognitive dissonance – “obviously Newsweek changed their article after Trump posted it to make him look bad”
