Trump Just Cited This Crazypants Fake News Report Narrated by a Russian-
Accented Computer
By Elliot Hannon
The back of Trump's head can be seen as a spaceship launches in the
background.
Welcome behind the curtain of the mastermind of the Trump media operation.

On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump tweeted about the case of
Martin Gugino, the 75-year-old peace activist who was shoved by two
Buffalo cops, resulting in his hospitalization, during a protest last
week. The ludicrous use of performative police force was caught on video,
which you have probably already seen, but it resulted in Gugino lying
motionless on the ground bleeding from the head. It also went bananas
online and led to the two officers being suspended and then charged.
Because the incident was literally taped, its tough to make Gugino out to
be something that hes not. But that didnt stop Trump from whatever
this is trying?
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75
year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police
communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he
fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

A secret police scanner! A trick fall! A potential ANTIFA setup! Its like
the Triple Crown of Trump crazy all jammed into one cockamamie tweet. But
maybe hes on to something, so perhaps lets track down the pseudo-sourced
allegation, which originated from the pseudo-news organization OANN. So
what kind of reporting was Trump relying on from the far-right propaganda
outlet? Take a look for yourself. Seriously.
Here's the first half of the batshit OANN segment Trump just tweeted.
It
alleges the 75 year old man assaulted by Buffalo police officers was an
antifa operative, based on a report from Conservative Treehouse.

It literally sounds like it was narrated by a Russian-accented computer
program. Its like Siri went to Moscow and had a stroke. Lets leave aside
the veracity of the report, which, come on, and drill down on the fact
that Trump watched this piece of creepy video spam and thought: Thatll
play. People are saying, just asking the questions, after all.
To quote our new Russian cyborg overlord: an old trick. Yes, indeed,
comrade.
