Trump did not post that ‘everything is horrible’

A fabricated image circulating on social media appears to show a post from former President Donald Trump on Truth Social, in which he urges people to elect him because everything is horrible. The post claims that life is a mess, people are broke, immigrants are eating pets, women are miserable, and everything is destroyed. However, the image is a satire and not actually from Trump’s account. The original post on Twitter included a label indicating that it was satire, but this label was removed in other versions shared on Facebook. This is an example of “stolen satire,” where satirical content is reposted in a way that misleads readers. Similar fabricated posts wrongly attributed to Trump have been debunked in the past. Snopes also confirmed that the post is fake. The Instagram user who shared the image did not respond to inquiries, and some Facebook users realized the post was satirical after sharing it. Overall, the post is not real, and readers should be cautious of misinformation online.
