Please tell me this isn't real, I've lost the ability to guess.

Not real.
And in this climate, I find this flavor of satire more exhausting than funny.
The most implausible thing about this to me is Trump said something genuinely funny.
Yeah, no way he could drop that top tier shitpost
As Of April 9, 2025
Not real so far...
(It’s not real)
Thank you, jfc this shit is tiring to keep up with.
Yet.
It's literally impossible to tell
There is a 90% chance all Trump post are real
This genuinely stressed me out.
Good things it was fake
Let's be clear: we all thought it was possible.
Honestly, it's a bit too good of a joke.
He called Taiwan and China different countries this week, so that’s nice at least.
He's a $1 million dollar donation from China away from endorsing a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
Pretty sure Jensen Huang will donated 500 million to prevent that.
it's not a second cold war, the first one just never ended and you're finally becoming aware of the fact that we're still in it.
Satire is supposed to be absurd and ridiculous.
If he actually did this, it wouldn't even be the strangest thing he's done this week.
I hate strong men
They have such weak egos
"Strongmen" are the opposite of strong men.
I wouldn't call them strong, just "in power"
That's what I say about everyone with a better bench than me
Gym muscles posers, every one of them
Did this actually happen?
No.
Had to ask, because with the Great Pumpkin ya never know.
Did he really tweet that? I need a link
No
Is it because Pooh is yellow?
It's because of this image:
It went viral on Chinese social media and was quickly censored by the state. As a result, comparing Xi to Winnie the Pooh became a symbol of resistance in China.

Look at the both of them just…not angry. Human. I hope I get to see that world again, but I’m working on it for my kid if no one else.
