I have been thinking of starting a fake news hall of fame thread for months now, but tonight I came across one of the most breathtaking examples of it that I have ever seen. I was asking for evidence that Trump really did make a promise, deal, or bet with pocahontas for a million bucks, and somebody actually posted this:
The snopes video has been cut to take Trump's words out of context to engineer a false political narrative. Watch the 15 seconds or so of video that snopes published and our jpp lefty posted, then look at the real video of what Trump really did say, in full context:
Look at what Trump says at 1 minute mark in the video. He says: "let's say I'm debating Pocahontas..." This is where he sets a hypothetical setting for some point in the future. Also, note that he is not addressing her, he is talking about her to his crowd.
Now, look at the 1:25 mark in the video. "and in the middle of the debate,..." Here, he is describing the proposed time in the hypothetical debate where he would "toss her a kit". Note that this is only a hypothetical debate that has not occurred, and that he has not made any commitments to Pocahontas. He has only joked with his rally crowd about what he might do in a hypothetical debate in the future.
