On his first visit to Florida as a presidential nominee on Tuesday, Joe Biden whipped out his cellphone to play Despacito, as a tribute to its singer, Luis Fonsi, who introduced the former vice president at the event. The moment exploded on social media, inspiring jokes, memes and a surprise resurgence of the 2017 single onto Twitters trending topics.
Early on Wednesday morning, President Trump joined the fray but in the video he tweeted, it wasnt Despacito playing from Bidens phone. It was N.W.As notorious 1988 single F--- tha Police.
What is this all about? Trump asked over the manipulated video.
Trump and his conservative allies have ramped up a campaign of online disinformation in recent weeks, as The Washington Posts Ashley Parker reported, with the president in particular tweeting out numerous false claims and misleadingly labeled videos. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump shared a tweet baselessly accusing Biden of being a pedophile.

(9,478 posts)I am thinking about overlaying a picture of Officer Chauvin in the process of murdering George Floyd with audio of Trump talking about how cops need to rough the people they are arresting up, or more recently in the case of Michael Forest Reinoehl, endorse extra-judicial killings.
Tie the police brutality to the words that Trump uses.
** Addded: I guess Trump's word for the day is letting the police have their "mojo".
