“So your source is ‘Trust me bro’ ?”

Smart kid. That line needs to be made famous. Fits in nicely with "weird".

[–] Quill7513 10 points 2 months ago

That kids going places if he wants. The kids are alright

The source is twitter, which is worse.

He's quoting the kid in the video.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He is, but op linked the video from Twitter. This was supposed to be a joke. I guess I should have added a /s to the end.

I get you. People keep ripping on Trump while linking to his biggest fan’s website. Everyone gotta bail on twitter like yesterday

The source is the video. I found a news story about the event, but it was cringey, so I decided the video spoke for itself.

He's talking about what the 12-year-old said to the My Pillow Guy in the video.

That kid has so much patience to stand there and listen to that fountain of bullshit.

You know it's bad when the 12 year old is the one to go "Actually you know what, this conversation isn't going to go anywhere productive," and chooses to disengage.

Actually murdered? Why am I only hearing about this now?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

No, they're exaggerating. He only got slammed.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

Kat Williams got beat up by a middle schooler, too. That was before the DNC though.

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

No they literally mean that he was figuratively murdered by words

No it's just a dumb headline
