Once again, tRump proves that he has no moral compass of any kind.

Forgeries? Nah, the pictures are authentic. Now, they may misrepresent what is stated, but that doesn't make them forgeries.
In this case the photos would have to be photoshopped fakes of the original or something similar to be forgeries...

Only people who care about TRUTH. Obviously, that leaves you out.
tRump lied and you fell for it again. Color me "surprised".
Bullshit..Lol......nice try at "trumpstyle" deflection though. The person pictured was NOT the store owner as advertised. As such, the picture was a "fraud. Just like tRump himself.

ROFLMAO. Seriously, if a news headline read "Trump believes Martian Lizard people control the EU", who wouldn't consider it's most likely true?
You have to shake your head in total disbelief at the extremes that these trump "culties" go to in attempting to defend the plethora of tRump lies.
It isn't his store. Duh! Therefore, he did not lose HIS store. Again, Duh!

Trump cares. That's why he lied and introduced the man as "John Rode III, owner of Rode's Camera Shop". Rode wasn't the owner. Do you agree that Rode isn't the owner of the store?

Agreed it isn't forgery. I'm not even sure Trump intentionally lied. He was probably just being the fucking moron many of his Generals and staff know him to be.
Poor Mr. Rodes was caught in the crossfire:

On Wednesday, Gram said Rode “was by no means trying to deceive anyone. I just talked with John this morning, and he’s very upset by it. He did not misrepresent himself; the president identified him as the business owner.”
Gram said one thing Rode was told before meeting Trump was “you cannot correct the president. John (Rode) wanted us to be there, but we chose not to. He did the appearance for the community, hoping to get some funding to help out, and it totally backfired on him. He’s not happy about it.”
For his part, Gram has “been getting some hate emails about not going to meet Trump. They said ‘the president is coming here to help you.’ We didn’t want this to turn into a zoo, and it has turned into a zoo.”
He added that he’s received “a lot more good emails than nasty ones, but it’s still upsetting.”
Notice the hate mail the real owner is receiving from Trump supporters.

I wouldn't go so far as "fucking moron" but it is likely he didn't know the guy from Adam and it was his staff that set things up. That's pretty normal for these things. I could see any President in a similar situation. But there are enough people that just hate Trump so much that they won't cut the guy a break anyone else would get.
Note: This isn't a defense or endorsement of Trump. It's just a reasonable and unbiased assessment of the facts as we know them.

Agreed in party but disagreed on "any President in a similar situation". Presidents are responsible for their staff, even their mistakes. Trump never accepts responsibility.
Note the comment from the staffer "you cannot correct the president." Do you consider that to be a good leadership trait or a very poor leadership trait? I consider it to be the latter. It's also a well known trait of Trump's. Another poor leadership trait is he doesn't like hearing about things he doesn't like. Do you think a person with Trump's attitude would make it as a Navy Senior or Master Chief with those qualities?

"The businessman, who has owned the camera shop for eight years, was then shocked to see the previous owner posing on TV as the distraught owner in front of his burned-out store and praising the president for coming to the city's rescue."
These grifters attract each other like metal filings to a magnet.
