Just back from the DC March: Saw fake news being made

I forgot to post this in my image thread so I thought I'd start a new one.

There was a guy at the end of the march (where my group decided to end, anyway) with a truck covered in "Trump Train" graphics. He had a cell phone pointed at the protestors and was narrating as he was recording, he said, I kid you not, "There's a strong show of support for President Trump" with absolute seriousness.

I laughed out loud, then said, loudly, "This guy's making fake news, trying to make it seem like these protestors are Trump supporters."

I was frankly kind of shocked at his audacity. There weren't many people that weren't carrying anti-trump signs, so I guess he lives in the alternate reality that trump does that people won't notice these things.

A snarky question, perhaps, but then again you never know.
