The King of Unforced Errors strikes again.

e: oh shit, it got me. Didn’t see the community, and this is so trump. Ha. I ate the onion.

lol well, in your defense, they just swapped "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" for MOO DENG. Which he did actually post. So it's totally understandable to bite the Onion on this one… The man is so ridiculous that any satire about him is going to seem believable.

I know this is fake because he wouldn't just say he hated it, he'd definitely try to claim it's some kind of woke democrat psy-op.

Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool opotamus?

Ugh, this got me, I thought it was real for a second.

TBH if it was another site, I could have kept reading their Trump quote and still believe it.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah this one's a little too on the nose, lol

His followers would probably start sending death threats to pygmy hippo zookeepers everywhere if they didn't recognize this as parody... and could read.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

it's probably already started. those poor hippogrips

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 10 points 2 months ago

I expected nothing else.

Regardless of whether it's The Onion, or if it had happened irl.
