As far as Trump, his policies, and his behavior go, this isn't particularly bad or worth talking about. I'd rather focus on the fact that he's f**king over the poor and working class and apparently trying to start Iraq 3.0 in Iran. I think liberals often spend too much time attacking Trump as a person and not enough time attacking his disastrous and vile policies.

You're not wrong (except on the part when you say it's not particularly bad. We have slander and libel laws for a reason). But we shouldn't be tolerating this sort of behavior. Actions like this only pump more adrenaline into the Deplorable base.

The President of the United States tweeting out fake videos of the Speaker of the House is a problem. Who he is as a person directly relates to how governs and crafts policy.

I’m starting to think perhaps this Donald Trump fellow might be a bit of an unpleasant type of person.

And yet trump portrayed himself earlier at that White House event, saying that he and his administration conduct themselves in a calm and professional state of mind.

PS: I couldn't find the trump Tweet spreading this video. Are you sure it's out there? Someone post it, if you can.

Falsified stories in video or print are a bane of all but the most blatant liars in journalism (let us say, North Korean Central News Agency today, or Pravda or Voelkisches Beobachter in their worst moments... as in "Poland attacks Germany and Germany is beginning a counter-offensive")

Say what you want about FoX News, but bad as it is it takes itself deadly-seriously.

The video Trump posted is edited to highlight her worst moments but it's not the doctored version that was slowed down.

Anyway. This is disgusting and a good representation of the kind of manipulation used to mess with the 2016 election. Votes weren't directly changed, but people who may have been on the fence about who to vote for were deliberately misled with false stories and manipulated information. This is a real danger to democracy and the fact that the President is partaking in it is hugely problematic.

Trump tweeted the Fox Business compilation of Pelosi's "stammers" during her speech, not the "Doctored Video" everyone's talking about.

If that was the case, this wouldn't have been an issue.

I mean, the entire GOP governs and crafts policy this way, even the ones who are "nice".

I would find this reprehensible if the "collusion" narrative wasn't such nonsense.  

Trump is wrong for doing this, and it is a beneath a President to do such a thing, but the fact that it happened is a degree of Poetic Justice.  Trump is in the sewer on this one, but he's hardly alone.

Fuzzy you’ve been told and shown the passages from Mueller report stating the fact Trump knew in advance and encouraged the Russian hacking to his benefit on this site countless times. At this point you’re just choosing to create your own narrative the facts be damned

Trump is the meme president; he tweets memes.
