1) this is not the memorial service, this is an Airport, #FakeHeadline

2) the picture and headline are misleading people to believe he did the (((Double Fist Pump))) for no apparent reason and in the wrong time and place for such a gesture

a real headline would be "Donald Trump Sparks Backlash for Greeting Cheering Fans with Double Fist Pump at Airport"

but this headline would expose the source of the Backlash as morons offended by nothing

https://people.com/politics/donald-trump-double-fist-pump-911-memorial-service/

it's people magazine so I mean there is that

first line of the article

Quote

Donald Trump is facing widespread social media backlash after he was pictured greeting supporters with a triumphant double fist pump as he arrived to a 9/11 memorial service on Tuesday, the 17th anniversary of the terror attacks.

I don't think your criticism on the headline is unreasonable

people magazine is eh though

I dunno what the headlines were from other sources as this song and dance happens every day

I disagree with the pic having much importance, seems to me some more "look at Trump's fans/crowds" type of thing which their story includes first line

Trump's personality is an interesting one... I really don't think he's capable of empathy. He just comes across as silly when he tries pretending.

For instance, his tweet from yesterday:

did everyone get their copy of the non-fiction book Fear?

750 thousand people did on the first day

number 4 book of the year so far and fastest selling since 2015

don't forget Trump fans even the President is a big fan of Woodward's writings and integrity with his investigative journalism towards white house occupants

Yep, yep. The news trying desperately to make Trump look bad. Itr doesn't matter whrere he WAS headed. What mattereed is that he probably just got off the plane to a cheering crowd, and gestured back... in response.

Trumps tweets have a complex identity that doesn't fit into a binary true/false system

The identity of any given tweet is fluid, one day it could be the brutal honest truth, the next day the same tweet can simply be a humourous joke, at other times it's a brilliant troll intended to send the media into a frenzy, and sometimes it's designed to elicit a specific response from international targets

You need a very high iq and the ability to play 4d chess to understand the brilliance with which each tweet is woven, fully intended to vary in meaning over time
