      It’s ok, i also ate the onion at least once…

      With news about Trump, it is also an extra deceiving onion.

          It’s okay bro, easy mistake to make. The fat orange guy is a walking onion article no matter what he does.

          Frankly it’s amazing that The Onion didn’t go under in the last decade as reality became stranger than their headlines

      Like, from just reading the headline, it doesn’t seem very onion-y. It’s not just perfectly believable, but I sort of assumed that that is what happened.

    I’m not sure if that’s the right gesture when you’re constantly agitating against socialists:

    Didn’t even click to read the satire.

    As much as I hate the guy it was marketing genius to do the fist pump immediately.

    Same as his mug shot (although he probably practiced that one for hours in a mirror).

    Many of his core followers are only semi-literate. They respond to iconic imagery.

      he didn’t do the fist pump immediately.

      it was like 10 minutes later, you fell for the propaganda.

        I see now that the photo is from the golf course not the speech. That he posed for that one shows once again how media savvy he is.

        The first assassination attempt created the iconic image. That happened only 80 seconds after the shooting, ie as soon as security let him stand up. Here is the uncut footage.
