Trump shares fake video of Biden playing 'F--- the police'

What a goon.


Trump shares fake video of Biden playing 'F--- the police'
By John Bowden - 09/16/20 09:01 AM EDT


President Trump shared a fake video Wednesday morning that made it seem Democratic nominee Joe Biden (D) was playing the NWA song "F--- the Police."

It's the latest example of Trump retweeting a fake, doctored or manipulated image or message from his Twitter account.

It comes as the president is leaning into a law-and-order message on the campaign trail, and as he trails Biden in national and swing-state polls.

The fake video was tweeted by a pro-Trump parody account "The United Spot." Trump added the words "What is this all about?" over the video in which Biden is depicted as playing the NWA song from 1988 at a Hispanic Heritage Month event.

Twitter flagged the video as "manipulated media."

Down to dirty tricks as usual. That is all Trump has being his poll numbers continue to drop.

unacceptable, if enough people did so. They're obviously aware of it.

This is Manipulated media. This never happened and Trump knows it. Trump is using fake videos to try and make Joe Biden look as if he's against the police. This is disgusting, and Twitter needs to delete this tweet rather than just labeling it "manipulated media."

And if they had any spine at all, they'd delete Trump's account. This is unacceptable.

Okay, manipulated media of Biden playing "Fuck the Police" isn't enough for Twitter to suspend Trump's account. Let's face it: It's only going to get worse, as Trump gets more and more desperate. Pressure Twitter from the other side: What will it take for Twitter to kick Trump off? Force Twitter to either draw the uncrossable line or concede that there is no line they will ever draw.

I've been alerting countless Trump trolls since 2016 for saying some absolutely mean and nasty things about elected (and not elected) democrats. And it's got a lot of accounts kicked off. I do not intend to stop either.

He was the asshole who was responsible for the last round of doctored videos that Trump tweeted.
