Donald Trump’s signature has evolved over the years, but when signing just his first name, he often includes the same flourish at the end.

    Trump can say the sky is dark green and the fucking press would legitimize it by letting him debate it publicly for years while the owners sit back and collect the ratings and advertiser money.

    The entire structure of capitalism is fundamentally broken.

      I’m sitting here wondering what approach would be better to media.

      Statefunded media isn’t much better because authoritarians will convert it to statefunded propaganda.

      Corporate media will only ever do/publish what is most profitable, so they’ll side with whatever viewpoint gives the most clicks.

      Non-profit media can’t necesarily compete, since they lack the needed funding to actually get to the stories.

      The answer is obviously to implement proper laws forcing media to have an unbiased angle on every story, but who will enforce that? Some government entity? Then we’re back to statecontrolled propaganda.

      I guess in the end making authoritarian-proof media isn’t really possible…

      This is of course all isolated within the current capitalist system. Profit or lack of funding isn’t an issue with other economic models, but those will have different issues I’m not gonna bother diving into right now.

    What I don’t get is his followers don’t care. These “Christians” or whatever the fuck America has de evolved them into well happily vote in some one who is a pedophile want to have sex with his daughter and lies and cheats. But hey that is the American religious values I guess. I don’t even think they can be called Christians anymore.

    Welp, that’s enough proof for me, he’s such a pillar of truth!

    Why don’t people push back on a man that cannot physically tell the truth? I mean WTAF.

    Also reminds me of this. Why isn’t the media and everyone else calling this bitch out?

    The guy who lies about everything needs to stop being quoted like an authority on anything, especially here where he’s done everything to distance himself from this story and his former bestie.

    This is getting ridiculous. Everyone knows what’s up, this whole charade is utterly pathetic. God, Trump and his followers are truly the lowest of the low.

    Honestly man my signature looks different a lot of the time. The using signatures as evidence thing always seemed suspect to me.

    But this adding of evidence doesn’t matter anyway. We all know he’s a pedophile at this point, and those who don’t think so will never believe that he is.

      I did the training for forensic calligraphy analisis (for kicks, I got it for free, long story), although I never got certified, as it was a pain and cost money.

      Signature analysis is pretty easy and accurate. Even though your signature will change over time, there are movements, pressures, lift offs, angles, that you make automatically, and which don’t change. They are muscle memory.

    No one believes him, not even his followers. It won’t stop him from saying it, of course.

    I’m confused, are we on step 1 or step 4 of the narcissist prayer right now?

    1: That didn’t happen. 2: And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. 3: And if it was, that’s not a big deal. 4: And if it is, that’s not my fault. 5: And if it was, I didn’t mean it. 6: And if I did, you deserved it.
