I wanted to share the context because w/out it, it’s easy to come to conclusions about the clips significance in isolation.

He rambled about nothing & lied through his teeth 90mins; that’s disqualifying enough w/out needing to invite speculation into something otherwise.

I hope that helps! :-)

I agree, I don’t think the context makes him look any better.

It’s not *that* the clip is bad, but *why* the clip is bad that shifts w/ context; our reason for critique changes & that seems important given ambiguity of the clip.

And, I also agree that nothing OP said was false.

I agree, he still looks like an asshole because he is, lol. The entire speech is an embarrassment... because he’s an embarrassment.

The context for the clip is starts around ~30:15; it’s about 30secs long.

As expected, OP was more interested in appealing to emotions & engaging deceptive imagery persuasion, than they were in sharing facts w/ context.

They blocked me before I could finish my thread, haha.

Here’s what OP posted, what I posted on their thread & the outcome.

See my thread for more.

I agree. He’s a disgrace to the Presidency and a danger to the US, the world, & democracy.

I just concerned by posts of him out of context because of the risk of misinformation spreading.

IMHO the strongest arguments & strongest opposition comes from challenging him & his policies on the merits.

Definitely! Pres. Trump has been a disaster for the US & for the entire world. He’s dangerous & his ideology is hateful.

IMHO, meaningful criticisms of him, and his administration, shouldn’t be made by posting clips of him out of context.

OP seems not to have agreed, haha

tldr: Be on the lookout for misinformation, disinformation, AI, and DIP.

Also, @ryanmcbeth.bsky.social, if you ever wanna chat US foreign policy w/ a civilian wonk & economist (who worked in Fed Govnt & is currently in academia), who’s a Foucault reading gay furry leftist, I’d be honored. 😜

I don’t always agree w/ Ryan; we had radically different experiences working in Government, but he is a knowledgeable expert, well sourced, & I suggest you give him a follow.

And to prove his bona fides, Ryan is a Newsmax contributor I genuinely like… and I feelings about Newsmax, haha.

It’s our job to think before we share & think before we post.

Misinformation, Disinformation, & DIP (Deceptive Imagery Persuasion) makes it harder for us to real conversations, with shared facts, about what’s happening in the world.

Impulsive posting hurts democracy & free expression. (5/8)

Be skeptical of the clips you see online.

Why am I so mad RN? It took me over an hour to find the clip in the video, when the clip happens, & then share the video + context & write this thread.

I happened to have that time today, but I only had to do it because someone posted impulsively.

This sort of posting is misinformation/DIP at its finest. I am emphatically NOT a Trump supporter; not even in the same universe as a Trump supporter.

I’m a GODDAMM Queer Bi-racial Jewish Furry who lives in New York.

I beg you, I beg you, don’t post anything with posting primary sources...

My video is from the White House YouTube page, but I’ll a link to the AP video, which is the same, just in case the White House’s page is not a reliable source; which I’m sad to say is often true these days.

To see the clip I posted, start watching at ~30:15.

I’m currently angry & terrified, here’s why:

I don’t know this person & they’ll probably block me after I post this:

The clip they posted is real BUT DANGEROUSLY OUT OF CONTEXT.

It’s from Trump at the Detroit Economic Forum on 01/13/26.

I’ll post the full context here; source in next post.

THIS CLIP IS OUT OF CONTEXT.

It’s from the Detroit Economic Forum yesterday. The clip I’ve posted is from the White House YouTube page, but, to prove authenticity, the link I’m sharing is from the Associated Press.

The time is around 30:15 in the linked video.

…works from that period are becoming more prevalent in the avant-garde of pup/furry art.

If I come up with an answer, you’ll be the first to know. 😘🐶😉

It’s both an incredibly fucking sexy and deeply evocative picture.

Thanks for sharing it!

…of different sculptures we were looking at in relation to your selfie/self-portrait.

There are a few artists in the kink/pup/furry space who are making reference to classicism/mannerism in their practices and we hadn’t seen much, if any, in photography.

I’ve been trying to understand why…

It’s a great pic and a great pose. :-)

I’m currently pup-furry artist/academic residency, I saw your pic on my feed yesterday and thinking about it out loud started a 3hr discussion about renaissance nudes and pup/furry sexual expression and self depiction.

That pic I shared is from a screenshot…
