Welcome to the future. I actually thought he was tangentially involved too.
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore. Most people's feeds are pretty bad, and that's the point! He literally burned out fact-checkers and journalists (and numbed minds to them) last term.

As he did on Wall Street before he got into politics:

Might be better if social media changes, but... we basically elected Big Tech:

I would also point out that there's been multiple organizations that verify and fact check.
And just like we've seen in Trump Presidency part 1, MAGA and conservatives don't gaf.
They get no engagement though. Social media's dumped fact checking, which means most won't see it.
