Not by chance the title of this article is written in such a way as to suggest there are some revelations regarding Trump dismembering someone. I hate clickbait.

I think Lemmy NottheOnion would not be where you'd first read that news if that happened!

Don't underestimate the news-spreading ability of memes

Yup. A little toasted and definitely thought Trump had beheaded one of his exes.

Not toasted and also thought that

How do you read that from that title?

I mean quite literally nothing is suggested that Trump did. It's even distanced with 'administration'.

Maybe you read what you wanted to read, but there's nothing suggesting there. Literally.

"The Trump administration touted him"

Who's "him" ? I thought it was Trump

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Ah ok. I thought it was clear that the person discussed was outside of the trump organization.

I think Trump is despicable but it seemed pretty obvious to me this wasn't the lead-in to an article about Trump murdering someone
