The White House "defense" of the President borders on pure hilarity

Are the Macedonia fake news people paying you every time you post that line about "you people, etc."?

VELES, Macedonia — Dimitri points to a picture on his Instagram showing a bar table decked with expensive champagne and sparklers. It's from his 18th birthday just four months ago — a lavish party in his east European hometown that he says wouldn't have been possible without President-elect Donald Trump.

Dimitri — who asked NBC News not to use his real name — is one of dozens of teenagers in the Macedonian town of Veles who got rich during the U.S. presidential election producing fake news for millions on social media.

The articles, sensationalist and often baseless, were posted to Facebook, drawing in armies of readers and earning fake-news writers money from penny-per-click advertising. Dimitri says he's earned at least $60,000 in the past six months — far outstripping his parents' income and transforming his prospects in a town where the average annual wage is $4,800. He is one of the more successful fake news pushers in the area.

His main source of cash? Supporters of America's president-elect.

"Nothing can beat Trump's supporters when it comes to social media engagement," he says. "So that's why we stick with Trump."

Even with the presidential contest over and Google and Facebook's plans to crack down on fake news makers, money continues to pour in. Posts about Hillary Clinton are also a hit — but only negative ones.

"I have mostly written about her emails, what is contained in her emails, the Benghazi tragedy, maybe her illness that she had," Dimitri adds, but now he’s moved on to headlines like: "Trey Gowdy Revealed His EPIC Plan To Imprison Hillary Now That Election's Over, SHE IS DONE!"

Dimitri’s sole aim is to make his stories go viral. His most popular headlines during the election included: "JUST IN: Obama Illegally Transferred DOJ Money To Clinton Campaign!" and "BREAKING: Obama Confirms Refusal To Leave White House, He Will Stay In Power!"

Yes, Dimitri. He of the Macedonian hacking farms.

This is why, right here. :)
 
I think you and tsuke are both Macedonia fake news hacks, GQ.

"Almost a quarter of Macedonians are currently unemployed — a rate around five times higher than in the U.S. But the burdens that weigh on Veles might also explain why it's become a global hotbed for fake news. High unemployment and a close-knit community meant that when Dimitri and others started making money, word quickly spread and everyone wanted a piece of the action.

Most teens here speak fluent English, allowing them to quickly navigate through reams of Western news sites and pinpoint potentially viral content. Dimitri estimates there are now 300 locals dabbling in fake news, with at least 50 making "decent money," and around a dozen making "a lot." He says he’s not quite at the top of the pecking order, but not far off....

...As with many regular journalists, Dimitri starts his day by trawling the web looking for trending topics that he can harness to drive traffic to his websites. He copies his posts from other fake news websites, including many in the U.S., or takes content from mainstream media organizations before peppering them with invented details. He also posts provocative online polls such as:

"Should Trump Deport All Refugees?" and: "Do you consider Donald Trump, the Jesus of America?"

Most of this content is published on websites Dimitri has built to look like NBC News, Fox News, the Huffington Post and others.

A fake news website run from Macedonia that is made to look like Huffington Post. NBC News

To the untrained eye, fake headlines such as: "BREAKING: Obama Confirms Refusal To Leave White House, He Will Stay In Power!" look genuine. The only giveaway is the imitation URL.

From then on, it's a case of throwing as much mud at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Hillary sure did.

Do you think being so shamed and publicly humiliated is what caused her massive upset loss to The Imperial Don?

I don't think she was shamed and publicly humiliated, no. Since trump got elected in spite of his shame, humiliation and unethical actions, trump U. por ejemplo, I doubt that had anything to do with it.

Boiled down, I think trump voters were stupid and gullible and believed the grifter's lies.

They sure kicked her flabby ass. She's a loon with a list a mile long, but we always told you she was unstable.

So it's sexist to say that about Melania and not sexist to say it about Hillary. Got it.

Clintons married 40 years, something you should aspire to, dude.

Bill cheating on her for 40 years. Something Liberals makes excuses as being OK for him to do.

Would you say the same thing about Obama voters that believed if they liked their doctor they could keep their doctor or if they liked their healthcare plan they could keep their plan?

Anyone that voted for Obama was an idiot and gullible by believing skin color made someone qualified.
