I want this to be true so bad.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 56 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We can make it true. See how easy that is?

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 45 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah! I forgot thats how it works these days, you can just make anything a fact now.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 54 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

It's not though, right? Hard to say.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 70 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

It's definitely not true, although it is funny to think about.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 29 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

It's almost better if it's not true. That will probably piss off Trump even more, because they are lying but so many people will believe them and troll him with it.

[–] MikeOxlong@lemm.ee 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I think no one is saying it’s happing besides this meme, and definitely not “top Chinese officials”

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

We could do the JD Vance treatment. They don't care if what they that's important is true, why should we about something stupid like this?

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Someone here's gotta read Chinese, right?

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

We need a spy on Weibo to come report back to us here

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

Apparently he just answers unknown numbers on his private phone during meetings in the oval office, and quite a few people have that number. Someone should send him the link to the meme.

[–] saruwatarikooji@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's obviously not true, if they were to do that to him then he would absolutely be ranting about it on truthsocial and calling for an all out war on China... At which point we'd see the signal chats because hegseth would have added at least 3 outside people to it.

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not so sure. For clarity, I don't think it's true either, but, if it was, he probably wouldn't tell anyone about it, because, the fact that they could do that to him makes him look weak. If there's one thing a narcissist will chew off their own toes to avoid, it's looking weak in front of people. It's the same reason he uses bronzer and hair dye.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago

It's as true as anything Trump says.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

If Trump suddenly starts mentioning Obama in his tweets for the first time in months, then yeah, it's True. Otherwise, fake.

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's about as true as the Trump claims that the Chinese are calling about a trade deal.

Both sides are actually nglike they are standing off, but both are trying to get things resolved in secret.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 35 points 3 weeks ago

People are saying it's true. People. Lots of people. The best people are saying it's true.

[–] Joncash2@lemmy.ml 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not true, I have it on good authority they're playing Biden and Kamala speeches.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

OK, listening to that doddery old coot would only be slightly better than Trump.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 238 points 3 weeks ago

I don't believe for a second that it's true, but the possibility that it is amuses me.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 61 points 4 weeks ago

This is the main reason why uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we recorded those speeches

-Barack Obama

Because he's facing the wrong way on the couch?

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Even if it's not true, this is what I have decided to believe.

[–] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Modern discourse in a nutshell lol

Big? Is this a new re-definition i need to learn?

[–] IEatDaGoat@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's just short for "this is a big deal" grandpa

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Oh. Well what do you do with all the free time you save by not spelling out the word 'deal' every time?

So, as I understand it in the current culture of Social Media, the term 'BREAKING:' now universally means 'here's some shit I just pulled out of my arse.' Does that sound correct? Everything's always BREAKING!
