Nah, it's texts from before autocorrect, and also they are British texts.
 
Could that "fake Melania" be Hope Hicks?
 
Barack Obama says that Donald Trump's jealous of Covid getting more media coverage than he does.

I'm not sure whether this isn't, ironically, literally true.
 
It's in response to some tweets and rallies, where Trump has said "Covid, Covid, Covid" (or in his tweets "COVID, COVID, COVID") "all the press wants to talk about is Covid."

Obama's claim is literally true; Trump is furious that Covid has pushed his tremendous economic successes off the front page.

"Work sets you free": Trump senior adviser accused of using Nazi propaganda slogan

"This is Corey Lewandowski. You know me as President Trump's 2016 campaign manager and his current 2020 senior adviser. Look, I want to say freedom only for the members of the government or only for the members of the party is no freedom at all," he says. "We need to end the China virus lockdown, and only work sets you free. Let's get everyone back to work, let's get our economy growing again, let's send Donald Trump and Mike Pence back to the White House for four more years."

The phrase "work sets you free" has deep historical significance. The words translate in German to "arbeit macht frei" and are known for appearing on the entrance gates to Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps.

Progressives rightly get beat up over their past support for eugenics and it regularly features as an anti-abortion argument.

It's funny then to see so many conservatives shrug about Covid and say:
“They were indoors for six months with nothing to do but watch Fox News and go on Facebook,” he said. “And now they’re telling me, ‘Oh well, the weak just need to die and then we’ll be over this thing.’”
Every life is sacred?

That article is actually about misinformation in social media and how and why the elderly are disproportional victims of it, not about eugenics. That quote at the end just jumped out at me.

China, the people, look, China is getting us. These guys are no good. But the wall, the wall.'” (Omarosa Manigault Newman)

Top 10 revelations about Trump from the last 4 years (part 3)

1. Trump rejected the idea of the visit to the war cemetery, because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead. (Jeffrey Goldberg)

2. Trump has had more than $270 million in debt forgiven since 2010 after he failed to repay his lenders for a Chicago skyscraper development. (New York Times)

Waste of time you're preaching to the converted.

It's either.
1. Fake news/lies
2. So what/who cares
3. That's a good thing.
