[Bladenic]

Are people gonna say he's an oracle and retroactively make him right now?

Probably.

 

[KHarvey16]

It would appear the mainstream media (along with several celebrities and Swedish politicians) is going to be apologizing to President Trump once again.

Hmmm

I think I'll wait just a few minutes and see if a real source picks this up.

 

[BY2K]

Now he's gonna use THIS to prove his point, you morons.

EDIT: Nevermind.

 

[Nabs]

I'm going to need better sources than those two.

"fakestream media"

 

[Captain Zyrain]

If true.. What? Why destroy your own stuff because some idiot insulted you?

 

[B-Dubs]

Zerohedge? Are you serious right now OP? Is this real fucking life right now?

 

[tearsintherain]

Can Trump see the future? Maybe he is the Kwisatz Haderach

 

[wisdom0wl]

But why

 

[Doop]

Just google image searched the last picture. That wasn't even taken in Sweden.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I'm side-eyeing these sources.

 

[Madness]

Nvm, seems sources not even remotely credible.

 

[BlackJet]

First source mentions "fakestream media", so I'll wait for some other English sources.

 

[TheStruggler]

how does this relate to immigration when it could be anyone?

 

[Kimawolf]

Someone is trying to get Trumps dumb self to report this in a tweet! lol and watch he do it.

 

[Nabs]

Just google image searched the last picture. That wasn't even taken in Sweden.

the second to last one is from 2015 or earlier.

 

[ThisGuy]

Can Trump see the future? Maybe he is the Kwisatz Haderach

Lmao, this is too good.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Malmo?

EDIT: do you have better sources?

 

[B-Dubs]

First source mentions "fakestream media", so I'll wait for some other English sources.

And the second source is fucking Zerohedge.

Does anyone really think CNN wouldn't pick this up well before dumps like Zerohedge? Really?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Fake news! Sad!

 

[Toxi]

Just google image searched the last picture. That wasn't even taken in Sweden.

the second to last one is from 2015 or earlier.

LOL

 

[bobbychalkers]

I've found a link that dates that last picture to 2011.....

[Sou Da]

Just google image searched the last picture. That wasn't even taken in Sweden.

I found the second to last pic dated back to august on google. C'mon OP.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Really, OP?

 

[Aureon]

The last two pics are from a 2015 france riot, i right? Google dates them at LEAST back to 2015.
I'm calling BS on the whole thing.

Also, riots have been a thing for a long time in Sweden. It's not a new phenonomenon brought on by syrian refugees or any bullshit like that.

Sad! Rioters invented time travel to prove trump right!

 

[Nabs]

Nice going, op.

 

[Mr.Sumal]

the only place I see this is on R/TheDonald

 

[adj_noun]

How dare you people impugn the journalistic good name of zerohedge and the other one

Sad! Rioters invented time travel to prove trump right!

No one else is reporting the time travel angle!

 

[The Hermit]

fakemedia indeed

 

[wesleyshark]

Smh

 

[Saint Gregory]

LOL, I'd say that you can't make this stuff up but apparently you can!

 

[jack_package_200]

F A K E N E W S

gj op

 

[LiquidSolid]

Knew this was bullshit the minute I saw OP's "sources."

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Weak OP. Weak.

 

[shem935]

So you browse these websites frequently enough to post this first and find them credible enough to post yes OP?

 

[Dishwalla]

Why would people in Sweden riot over something stupid that Trump said?

 

[Saint Gregory]

Knew this was bullshit the minute I saw OP's "sources."

I feel dirty just for giving them clicks.

 

[How About No]

Sorry...what now?

 

[HariKari]

Knew this was bullshit the minute I saw OP's "sources."

Not often you see people posting zerohedge as a news source.

 

[Merc_]

lol OP.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

op's got some explaining to do. you don't just happen upon shit like this.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

First off, that's stupid and why would anyone believe it. Secondly, I hope Donald talks about it.

 

[BlackJet]

And the second source is fucking Zerohedge.

Does anyone really think CNN wouldn't pick this up well before dumps like Zerohedge? Really?

Is Zerohedge another one of those alt-right sites that skews news to fit their viewpoint?

Site won't even load up for me.

 

[morningbus]

Chrome let's you right-click and reverse search an image in two steps.

It took me less than 5 seconds to fact check this, OP.

 

[Toxi]

The crazy thing is right wing propaganda has been reusing it for years. A google search shows it used for at least four different "riots" on the first page.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

my head hurts

 

[kamikaze]

fringe website accuses news media of spreading fake news then spreads/creates fake news of their own. i guess they're just jealous of established media allegedly encroaching on their territory.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Threads starting to look like

 

[Stead Fast]

And here we see the other damaging aspect of fake news, first it is used to discredit actual news, and secondly (like here) it is fabricated though with just enough flashy imagery and context that it can totally be used to spread the rhetoric that Trump is right.

This is a fucking sad time to be alive.
