Or is it dishonest, confusing, discrediting and lame?

I gotta say, since asking for a source on the above quote, and receiving no response, and then finding zero evidence such a quote was ever uttered by Donald Trump, it seems to me that if this board is then going to affirmatively approve that kind of embarrassing LARPing, we are gratuitously risking surrendering any claim to be a place where truth is the highest value.
Humor is grand; malicious deceit is despicable; but playing make-believe like it’s real here is simply juvenile and pathetic, and terribly discrediting.
Sauce or GTFO. Let’s have some damn standards, please.
Hey, I think it's cool that you call it out. I do rely on this site to be accurate, as I frequently use information from this site when interacting with the sleeping masses.
Usually, I remember to do at least a cursory fact check, but I might take something in quotations and assume it is properly attributed.
You might be making this specific offense bigger than I would, though I do see your point. Of course, there are plenty of more egregious examples of this issue, and you have just leveraged this one to draw attention to the wider problem. That's cool.
Thanks.
The story is, I’m here for the truth and honest discussion, and to laugh, not to wade through a sewer of fake quotes and questionable facts.
I reported this post because it’s terribly deceptive, and totally discrediting, and presumed it would be removed. Instead it was approved.
I’ve spent a lot of time on this board, but if falsehoods aren’t being removed, if LARPing is going to be entertained, I’m going to at least attempt to confirm that this is really the intent and direction of the board before I otherwise have to remove myself.
No doubt there’s numerous other examples, which makes this discussion and conclusion all the more relevant.
