Acosta's tweet, minutes ago:

Straight out of 1984... This Trump tweet is not only bizarre. It’s bogus. I never did a live shot on this so obviously the chyron is a fake.

That Trump tweet, which has been on Twitter for 10 hours but hasn't been flagged by Twitter so far as manipulated media:

Editing to link to an article at TPM calling Trump out for this fake video as well as the one about the "racist baby" that Twitter already labeled as manipulated:

In the second cloying video (which appears to be entirely fictional), a woman is seen watching NBC News’ coverage of the Covington student incident before she goes outside and films a white man in a MAGA hat chasing after a black Uber driver. Her video goes viral and viewers accuse Trump of stoking racism. CNN reporter Jim Acosta appears in the video at one point with a fake chyron that read “Trump’s Fault? White Man In MAGA Hat Attacks Black Uber Driver.”

Similar to the first video, the rest of the second video claims to show the full interaction between the two men, in which the Trump supporter helps the driver get his car unstuck from the snow.

5. There are a lot of these trumpish videos going around lately

there is another one of two little kids, one chasing the other.
He is GASLIGHTING so hard these days, trying to make folks think that racism isn't real that it is just in our own minds....

6. so, here's trump who promised us we'd do so much winning we'd get tired of winning

who has now resorted to forwarding fake videos whining that the media blames him for so many things that have gone bad.

He is really, really a pathetic snowflake.

9. It's as if he's really just a loser

Can't build a fence, gets slapped down again and again by the Supreme Court, the military doesn't like him and is on the verge of mutiny if Trump pushes them much further, ran the economy into the ditch (the recession was going well before the pandemic shutdown) and is ultra-touchy about anyone pointing out his record of failure.

7. Poor little Donald Dipshit

Always the Victim, just so misunderstood, and his followers always wrongly-judged.

That's All.
