Cant believe we have Presidential fan fiction smut.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don't think it's fiction. But yes, the artist is definitely a fan.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

"Fan-fiction" as in this exact exchange probably didn't happen.

Because I don't believe Donald Trump would commit to memory anyone else's exact words; that would imply he was ever really listening to other people instead calculating the next time he could diarrhea from his mouth in foul mockery of conversation.

I like how fictional Jeffery Epstein gives him a fictional complement.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 33 points 6 days ago

And people say this isn't something Donny would write

only way anyone loved trump, was in his own fan fictions

early Adventure time Ice King vibes

Yes! 💯

It's fake, he didn't have tears in his eyes or call Trump strong.

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 39 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What's the context of the text here?

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 82 points 6 days ago (3 children)

It is a birthday card from Trump to Epstein

[–] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 46 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A birthday card to a 'terrific guy' who likes beautiful women as much as Trump does, many of them on the younger side.. Just besties celebrating a 50th birthday and reminiscing about all the fun they've had together.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

"Women on the younger side" are called children in the non-pedophile world.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Where’s the evidence that this is an authentic birthday card from Trump?

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Thank you. Have my upvote. But it alarms me that my simple comment asking for evidence received so many downvotes. Even if we despise the cretin in chief we still have to ask for evidence.

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

What's alarming about that? One of the most common troll behaviors is jaqing off, pretending not to have an agenda when you do.

Regardless, the comment isn't even in the negatives, so for as many down voted more upvoted.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago

Not to mention that this has been the biggest story this week. You'd have to be living under a rock then just showed up to this thread to have only heard about this from this meme. Then their reaction, instead of thinking "hey this seems to be a popular topic let me punch it into a search engine to learn more, I have been out of the loop this week after all" is "well I may not have been paying attention to anything this week, but I've never heard of this so the burden of proof is on everyone else to prove it to me"

[–] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

I didn't downvote, but I can assume the reason is that other sources like the one you just affirmed had already been posted in this thread by the time you asked. It was likely interpreted as disingenuous.

[–] grahamja@reddthat.com 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

People blindly trusting an image with no citation to a legitimate source is a plague on our society. Thank you for being skeptical and asking.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's a bit of group think. I noticed in on Reddit and on Lemmy it's the same. You easily downvote someone if they're already very low and the statement is not welcome in the current context.

Some of my reddit posts why <-200 are the ones I'm most proud of, e.g. one where I stood against torture and death sentence, even in the context of a child rapist.

Probably many people just thought you were "just asking" to spread doubts instead of… actually wanting to know a source. Don't think about it too much :)

What a normal reaction to when someone stands against waterboarding, torture and executions.

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 days ago

The description of the card in wall street journal was so detailed, that most likely this is just mockup what it probably looks like.

Trump denies this heavily, so it is probably authentic.

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Is it supposed to be a scene from a screenplay or something?

[–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 18 points 6 days ago

It is just a birthday card. Who knows what's going on these pedos mind

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Its a mockuo, based on news reports, of a birthday book page from donald to Epstein with a creepy incriminating text

So it's like fifth hand news

Pedo writing fan fiction to his pedo bff

It’s always terrible artists, why is it always terrible artists

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

That’s why fascists want to cut funding for the humanities and push the idea that art degrees are useless.

"May every day be another wonderful secret."

🤮

[–] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Is this real? I can't find it anywhere else.

[–] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 38 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

The WSJ first broke the story on Thursday. However, it didn't include an image of the card, only the text and a description. From all the sources I've seen, the original image has not been released. It is possible that someone only leaked a written report to the WSJ and they dont even have a photo of it. I suspect all these photos are fake, but since Trump will likely sue for defamation, I don't believe this story would have been published without a high certainty of the text's authenticity.

In matches the description of what I think it was the New York Post put out. I don't think they released an image of it, at least not when I first saw it. This could be someone's recreation based off the description possibly. Idk.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (3 children)

There’s another version of the image floating around, it’s slightly different. At least one of them must be fake.

[–] tribut@infosec.pub 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

According to the WSJ, it is signed only "Donald" and the signature implies pubic hair. The OPs version matches that, yours does not.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Good point, but the other one could also be fake too.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

lol this looks like a Dr Seuss character.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

I don't think the article said it's left aligned. I don't know why they both went for that. I would do center aligned, and then you get two curves, which could fit the shape of a woman. Maybe Trump isn't creative enough to figure that out, but that's I would would expect it to be.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Fake. When the real pic hits, hand onto your butt, memes forever. I can't wait!

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

They didn't mention that the figure of the naked woman and the signature were made in thick-ass sharpie. What's to even doubt about the authenticity now? Confirmed legitimate, case closed.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

sharpie.

The orange rapist president's version of a crayon.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How is this 400 votes in 8 hours and not in the top 6h list? 🤔

cuz it's more than 6h old I guess?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

Ah yes, sharpie on typewriter paper. The medium of a true artist.
