“So your source is ‘Trust me bro’ ?”

Smart kid. That line needs to be made famous. Fits in nicely with "weird".

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

That kids going places if he wants. The kids are alright

The source is twitter, which is worse.

He's quoting the kid in the video.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He is, but op linked the video from Twitter. This was supposed to be a joke. I guess I should have added a /s to the end.

I get you. People keep ripping on Trump while linking to his biggest fan’s website. Everyone gotta bail on twitter like yesterday

The source is the video. I found a news story about the event, but it was cringey, so I decided the video spoke for itself.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

He's talking about what the 12-year-old said to the My Pillow Guy in the video.

You know it's bad when the 12 year old is the one to go "Actually you know what, this conversation isn't going to go anywhere productive," and chooses to disengage.

That kid has so much patience to stand there and listen to that fountain of bullshit.

Actually murdered? Why am I only hearing about this now?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

No, they're exaggerating. He only got slammed.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Kat Williams got beat up by a middle schooler, too. That was before the DNC though.

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

No they literally mean that he was figuratively murdered by words

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

No it's just a dumb headline
