Make him look to be a bully that makes kids cry without showing what happened.
Other angle tells the real story.
Kid in the purple gives him a hat
Kid got pushed back in the crowd but Trump threw it to him to the left
Kid in purple to the left walked away with the hat smiling not "crying". Like him or hate him, the BS stories media pushes out there is a joke. Here's the link to the video: https://twitter.com/micahgrimes/status/854009984606228480

thanks a lot @OP, I love it when lies are uncovered
spacecatts
Fuck trump, but let's not make him into a monster +1
nipplepanties
You don't need to fabricate things to make trump look bad, and this gets used to further the "fake news" fire.
ExplainThisJoke
Thank God we solved the case
Popspoppingit
This is what we like to call FAKE NEWS
Sneakyninja1492
Media portraying stories to fit whatever agenda they want... welcome to America what else is new
yourmomisminenow
man, liberals that avoid seeing the truth to just bash on trump are the saltiest beings on earth.
SteveMND
You sure? Conservatives that avoid seeing the truth just to prop up Trump are just as bad.
happyBears
Good luck getting any MSM news outlet to admit they're at fault here though...

Who is clicking on the click bait shit article about trump throwing a god damn hat to begin with?!?!
lawideas
Glad to see people finally realizing how fake news can be.
LadyStarDust1847
Ugh! None of this is important! Don't read shitty, irrelevant stories and base your politics off them.
wittie888
I always upvote the truthy
TheOkun
Watched once to confirm before I upvote, then 3x before I chose to down vote. The teen did not move. Trump did throw the hat away from him.
Aurella
Agreed. That he caught the hat at all seems to be pure luck. Trump tossed it carelessly and watched the hat, not the kid. Then did it again.
sandhamwich
If only everyone was willing to be interested in understanding the real story maybe we'd find he's not that bad of a dude?
Sneakyninja1492
"Grab her right in the pussy"
sandhamwich
Taken out if context and spoken like a rock star, which he essentially was at the time. Cool to say? Nah, but come on.
SteveMND
Actually, I watched the video myself, and it doesn't look like he threw the hat back to the kid at all. Purple shirt kid had to move /1
SteveMND
2/ to the spot where trump threw the hat back to. Mind you, the throw wasn't malicious or anything, but Purple shirt kid still ended up /2
SteveMND
3/ having to catch the hat because it certainly didn't seem to be tossed back at him. more like 'back in his general direction.' Either /3
SteveMND
4/ way, this entire episode was a complete non-story, and it got traction only because news outlets like controversy for ad revenue.
slynnchef
I can't stand this blob, but , he is awful enough, no need to make crap up.
zoogz
Considering all of the larger issues with Trump, this is so minuscule. Worry about the millions/billions of dollars and lives affected.
TroutYabo
Tell that to the hundreds of sources that found this was necessary to make up a nothing story about.
zoogz
Media's going to media. Focus attention on the important stuff.
BubbaRunski
Yeah... I'm more focused on how he is failing at everything he's tried and is poisoning the Republican party.
WildBluntHickok
Oh well that makes his miles long list of crimes ok then /s
PostmasterG
EatTheShitYeah
Trigglypuff!
PoliticalMayhem
Thank you for the video of what really happened but why are you saying the kid got pushed back and trump threw him the hat. Watch the video
PoliticalMayhem
Trump threw the hat in the air and the kid had to stretch over people to catch it. I don't think Trump was being a bully, maybe a little
PoliticalMayhem
bit of an ass, but basically this is a non-story, wtf cares. This shit is a waste of time.
DragonFromAFewDoorsOver
The lies that keep getting put out are the worst thing someone can do, it undermines trust with all reports even the correct ones.
PeterPanLives
Plenty of shit he's actually done to be mad about.
brandsilven
Exactly! Making up crap just dilutes the real stuff. I'd hate to see a "Boy who cried wolf" thing where something important happens 1/2
brandsilven
but no one really listens because they're too used to the bullcrap. 2/2
RobertNAdams
I don't know if Trump has had more media lies about him, but they have seemed way more transparent than with other people. Really blatant.
drame
if they reached that point the underside of the iceberg must be yuge.
TheHourGrowsLate
I'm not really sure that this refutes the original story. I'm not seeing what OP is seeing in these screen grabs at all.
tetter99
Same, I don't see shit in any of the pictures
kentk94
Oh good, I thought it was just me.
CapnMawf
If you were to click the link provided at the bottom of the post, you would see the kid catch that hat and even hear him say 'thank you'
TheHourGrowsLate
The link was dead earlier. Looks like Trump tosses the hat in the air and the kid catches it. Politico headline is accurate.
chicktracy
Dunno why you are downvoted, Trump throws hat in the air and kid has to reach for it.
CapnMawf
I guess? He tossed it into the crowd in the general direction of the kid, who catches it and walks off happy. This kind of silly shit is
CapnMawf
why Trump supporters feel ok shouting 'fake news' at actual damning stories.
TheHourGrowsLate
...every single fucking day, I have a real hard time scraping together any fucks to give about this kind of criticism of Trump. Moreover...
TheHourGrowsLate
...swayed by grounded, logical reporting on Trump's many, MANY failures and harmful policies.
TheHourGrowsLate
...and attacking the foundations of our society, while being blatantly incompetent and petty, so I really doubt that they're gonna be...
TheHourGrowsLate
I mean, this isn't news, but after 8 years of Fox News and other outlets literally calling Obama a Communist-Fascist-Muslim-Nazi-Dictator...
TheHourGrowsLate
...his supporters don't seem to give a shit that he is literally abandoning or outright reversing all his major campaign promises...

Never mind, found it, can't find another direct source ... he screamed no because Trump almost didn't make it over fence 1 / 2

Looks like there might be a garbage pail there too
TroutYabo
Yup. Pretty crazy how easily stories can just be made up. Until we meet again????
DSVII

sweetfeetpete
The real mistake is confusing social media with credible news
SuwinTzi
Politico is social media now?
SarahCreepyLiberalTrannyAssFace
Clinton News Network ??
Tk842
The washington examiner and politico? Politico is about as credible as it gets.
RobertNAdams
Not for much longer at this rate.
Tk842
Individuals at these places make them like this.
RobertNAdams
Yeah individuals like the writer who wrote it, the editor who should have stopped it, & the fact checker (who barely exists at most outlets)
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
That's the official Politico account.
SteveMND
It's ON social media, I think he means. You can't count anything on social media to be accurate; it's such a 'get info out to the masses /1
SteveMND
2/ and get our ad clicks in as soon as possible.' It's the same on the 24-hour news networks of course, but perhaps not quite as bad. /2
SteveMND
3/ Social media just exacerbates the problem by providing a much easier venue to copy-paste erroneous info across millions of home pages.
theguywhodoesnotknow
I hate Trump but I appreciate facts. +1

All of this! I dislike him based on facts, and I hate when fake BS makes news. He doesn't need to be vilified all the time.

That's probably why you hate Trump.

Unfortunately you are in the minority now a days. Vast majority of those that hate Dump will believe whatever is fed to them.
TheFeralDog
Media does this to Trump a lot. Which is stupid because he looks like an ass without their help. All this does is fuel doubt in true stuff.
kholli
Media does this in general.
fonebone77
Meh. He lies for gain. He is setting the example. Fuggem.
PerfectManhattanUp
Yeah there are enough true vile things about him that we needn't bother denigrating him falsely

Seriously. There are WAY more than enough reasons to hate the man. There's no need to make more up.

The media speaks in half truths and partial lies all the time it has become a daily thing in 2017.
professorfuzz
It is sad this needs to be fact checked too. Where is that ad hominem post from earlier today? He has plenty of actual policy to attack.
DaChronisseur
Those two things may be related.
thisappisajoke
For real, we don't need people to exaggerate how horrible he is, he does a fine job of it himself.
capnsebastian
Like yo, the media has every right to hate on him, why waste your resources on petty shit like this? one a media always a media
FreddyBarnsniffer
Agreed
wearenotthesun
you don't hate trump. you are neutral.
Fuzzlebutt
When you think about it, the appreciation of facts and hatred of Trump go hand in hand.
theguywhodoesnotknow
I'm neutral as in I don't blindly agree with any party. I like good ideas no matter who's they are. I dislike Trump for his factual actions
wearenotthesun
nah. you are neutral.
TroutYabo
That's all I'm trying to show. Hate how hundreds of articles say he just grabbed a hat and flung it in the crowd.
Aurella
It looks like the kid barely managed to catch his hat, he even yelled "no!" while it was tossed. Trump wasn't even looking in his direction.
Every1friend
he def threw it up when he could have politely hand it back to the kid but the kid seem to take it as a joke so its all good?
minishaff
I appreciate it. I may not like him at all, but I hate crap like this.
IAmAGoodPerson
News fash. They been doing shit like this to trump from the beginning. Not all. But alot.
Insideanus
Which is confusing, since there are plenty of horrible, scandalous things he has actually said or done that get no coverage in these outlets
IAmAGoodPerson
No really. Just a littke. Just as mush as any other human or past president. It's not that serious.
simsom4343
Thanks +2
CourtneyRocks
That is shitty
Penguinsruletheworld
As long as you understand that he forgot to put his hand over his heart during the anthem....
CommonGodDamnSense
Yea didn't get that one. People getting distracted I've forgotten to stand at attention during a guys reenlistment shit happens.
Penguinsruletheworld
If you look at him it looked like his mind was literally not checked into reality at that point in time...
mrchambers
Welcome to 2017 news is now like the internet, just trying to be "first" everything else doesn't matter lol
CasuallyMasturbatingInPublic
Journalism was honest and factual the first 20 minutes of its existance before it was regulated and became yellow as a fucking banana.
Jarjarthejedi
Huh, never heard it put that way. That's almost inspirational, since "first" nonsense has mostly faded here, maybe media will catch up.
hispanicyankee
As nice an idea as that is, it won't. Because the media's "first" makes them money, so it's actually got an actual incentive for them
simsom4343
It's always been like that, always
jcarn
They're also catering to a consumer base that largely just wants to blindly hate on him
wackywoohoopizzaman
Here's the rules don't matter and everything's made uo
IStoleALoafOfBread
Agreed, spewing falsehoods only weakens legitimate arguments
HoldMyWater
Like how he's dismantling the EPA, Dep. of Energy, Education, etc...
Highlights333
Good. All non-needed functions of the federal government
dmax12
This is the current problem our media faces. Racing to get info out, its not uncommon to be untrue. makes proponents legitimate ignoring 'em
seranah
It also calls into question how legitimate the other arguments are.
rulek
Apparently it wins elections.
hereforthegoodies
well russians helped!! ask syria
emptykeg
That's been killing me about virtually every news story in the last year. Plenty of legit reasons to dislike him; no need to make them up
hereforthegoodies
but how can you be sure of "legit"?
seranah
Things like this should make any sane person reconsider the legit reasons to dislike him, downside of biased news it taints all the facts
seranah
2/ And if the news can not get this right, then how much faith do we put in them for the big stories. That is the cost of lost credibility
justlivinthedream
Makes independents wonder: "if he's so bad, why create false stories? Just tell the real ones--unless there aren't any."
MikeyDoesThings
Trollingstoned
Some will for sure. Others will think that was an honest mistake and something Trump could certainly do IRL. The media can make mistakes too
Allthatjunk
Independents are normally level-headed people. No way they're just going to side with Trump for a misunderstanding about a thrown cap.
Auronious
Forreal? He's a flaming pile of garbage for the whole world to see. The media made this shit up, but he doesn't exactly hide his asshattery.
TheCrimsonBastard
Why is it mostly dems in the comments yet somehow this one comment got fucked? +1 Because you're right. And also pity
LadyStarDust1847
No, this poor reporting is for clicks, not because there's nothing else to report on. Don't confuse the two. Trump is hoping you will.
WhosJoe
Politico and the Washington Examiner aren't going to push a knowingly BS story for clicks.
residentolive
There are definitely enough real stories out there... often videotaped coming directly from his mouth
Bombideer
Yeah, there's really no shortage of things you could bring up to make Trump look bad, so making up false things just loses your credibility.
TakWriterOfWorlds
I don't think it's creating a false story. It's like his tweets, they're are fake ones, but with all the ahi, it's easy to believe it's real
TakWriterOfWorlds
With all the shit* . Tuna has nothing to do with this, but now I want tuna. Seared ahi...fuck everybody's closed. Damn you autocorrect.
hispanicyankee
Which is partially how he got elected
rylecx
It's a large part of it. News tunneled on fake or superficial facts and he basically got a free pass on any legit issues
hispanicyankee
Sad but yeah, that seems to be what happened. I honestly don't even know I missed out on most of the election for reasons
hereforthegoodies
dissagree folks wanted a NON politician in office flaws and all
rylecx
very small part of it
AchromaticSky
There are plenty of real ones. The false ones might even be spread intentionally to make people ask that very question.
hereforthegoodies
it certaintly makes me ask
jp221
So these left wing news sources are colluding with Trump to make up fake stories about him portraying him in a negative light?
DragonFromAFewDoorsOver
The Podesta Email admit to collusion with multiple media outlets to push Trump as the Republican candidate, search "podesta pied piper"
DragonFromAFewDoorsOver
2.) the plan was to weaken the Republican reputation with independents and some conservative subgroups, by focusing on a radical.
Rapp44
If we continue to sensationalize the trivial we are missing the real issues.
NGC5189
Like how the MOAB was dropped without direct approval of the President?

My mantra right now is "pick your battles and research the hell out of them." Even if he had thrown the hat away, it's a nothing story.
Insideanus
Very well said
1incitatus
How can we trust the media on the big things when they lie about the trivial things?
Rapp44
You can't. You have to seek facts to find them, and don't contribute to the spreading of lies that support your beliefs.
hispanicyankee
Exactly! So many people are wrapped up in their own fiction of what is happening that they can't see the actual problems that need fixing
TheyCanCome4You
Which is what they want.
ionlyspeakthetruth
Nah, truth doesn't matter anymore. Liberals are just navigating the terrain at this point.
Rapp44
If you think that the truth matters to the right you are fooling yourself.
ionlyspeakthetruth
The opposite. LIberals are following suit with republicans. The truth doesn't matter to the reigning party so fuck it.
TroutYabo
Same goes if we accept and believe slanted lies thrown in our face for truth.
LadyStarDust1847
Trump's tweets will keep ya busy, then!
Rapp44
Agreed
Nilssen
You guys realize that this is what they want, right? For you to miss the issues of importance and to misinterpret their nemesises?
Smethly
Yeah but remember when the president claimed he could just grab women by the pussy because he's famous? No slant there, he's just a disgrace
TroutYabo
It's probably accurate given his financial status. I've heard 10 times worse than that in college locker rooms. Doesn't make it right.
DVSBSTrD
"War on Coal." Everyone wants to blame Hillary for losing the Rust Belt, but they would never have listened to her anyway.

But they were listening to Bernie. The fact that she lost what he woulda won sickens me to the core.

Trump has a million valid reasons to hate on him, but when you push these things, you lose all credibility on the valid reasons
Sprixxen
They don't care. You clicked the link because you think Trump stole a little kid's hat. Credibility gets less clicks than shock.

it's almost like it's intentional.

This. I'm 16 and I dont care for the SJW shit, and i feel powerless because thats what i feel is associated with my generation, when 1/2

in reality i just want my president to believe in fucking climate change. 2/2
CephalopodLodge4
Dude i want a pro nuclear energy person
TheCrimsonBastard
I dont ķnow a whole lot about it but my very basic understanding is that it's relatively environment friendly as long as it doesnt go wrong?
CephalopodLodge4
And it rarely goes wrong, nuclear power plants are steam engines.
mandarajp
I hear you, but you must realize the term "climate change" can mean so many things you wish to not represent.
mrmcspicy
"SJW shit" is so subjective that it probably includes climate change as well for Trump's diehard supporters.
TheCrimsonBastard
See that's/ the thing. You can have opinions formed by facts, but not facts formed by opinion. Someone should tell them that.
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
Yeah that's what pisses me off the most. You don't NEED to lie or spin to make him look bad. He's legitimately fucking awful all on his own.
hereforthegoodies
can you be sure of what you know is real?

Yes, i fucking can. 4 minutes of googling should provide one with all the evidence one needs to know, beyond doubt, that trump is corrupt.
