    Of course it is. Nothing in his history would make anyone sane believe he’d be anywhere near active flood waters. Or even wear a safety vest on the first place.

    They had to. It’s far too dangerous for him to be near actual water. If his diaper gets too saturated it will drag him under.

    If it were real, that’d be an incredibly dangerous thing to do–even with a life preserver vest–and a physically taxing one, as well. Neither of which Trump would be doing.

      I mean, drowning is kind of the least of your worries in those situations.

      NEVER walk through even suburban flood waters unless it is life or death. Because you know those things called “sewers”? Yeah, they are under there. And if the water has reached the point where it is even a foot off the ground? Then those sewers are entirely(-ish) full and that “water” contains significant amounts of poo, medical waste, chemicals, and so forth. Let alone corpses of animals… and people.

      So that is basically liquid hepatitis and Erastil knows what else.

      It is also why you NEVER buy a car that has been in a flood area and houses really should be basically demolished at that point (but aren’t because Capitalism).

          1. You would be amazed what people flush down their toilets
          2. You do realize there are other people in that flooded area too, right? Those “missing” folk? Hopefully all of them show up at a Waffle House two counties over. The reality is… many of them are still there in that horrific soup.

          It’s not about flushing them but I would imagine that graveyards that are below sea level have the bodies in mausoleums and many of those you can walk into so it would not surprise me that places near the ocean might have a rotted corpse.

          A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.

    I find it funny how MAGAts spend all this effort creating photos of Trump looking and acting how they envision him in their heads - because he’s never going to do or be any of them.

    • Naked with chiseled abs? Nope
    • Interacting with his followers? Nope
    • Wading through the floodwaters? Nope
    • Slender? Nope
    • Cradling or caring for children? Nope. Well, not released yet anyway
    • Leading a charge into battle? Nope

      On the other hand, wearing jeans in water is just the sort of stupid thing he might do, like looking at the sun during an eclipse.

    Gotta downvote this link to a horrible site. So many ads and pop-ups, and I never saw the picture in question

        There’s nothing wrong with those hands. There’s ~15-18 fingers between the two of them and the joints are totally in the right place.

          Yeah why are the hands such a dead giveaway. If AI fixes that it will be so much harder to prove. Now there is always something that just seems wrong with the pics but the hands are so much easier to quantify.

        It’s amazing how many glitches people are able to spot. I don’t really have an eye for that level of detail but usually just get a vague unnaturallness

        I use Android (Samsung) and I’ve never been able to find one that works. Sometimes I use Chrome, but many apps, like Connect for Lemmy have a builtin web viewer that I think is using the native web browser (so I need something that covers both). I would appreciate any suggestions.

        Generally “Reader Mode” is sufficient and I have my browser set to that by default. However sometimes sites are not functional in reader mode and those are usually the same ones that are most toxic.

        It also drives home the point of how poor the internet is with accessibility. Imagine having to rely on reader mode to get through the toxic sludge that makes up most of the internet, but yet we have to rely on every day

        Edit: yes, I was also using an adblocker but iPhone adblockers are limited and in this case useless

      It wouldn’t surprise me if some of them still thought that the mission accomplished press release was a big win for W.

    I mean what would even be the purpose of intentionally wading through water? Don’t they usually do fly overs to view the aftermath?

    Even if this was true, it would just be evidence that he did a stupid PR stunt for votes…
