Trump retweets fake image of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in front of Iranian flag
On Monday, President Trump retweeted a fake image of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer in Middle Eastern garb standing in front of an Iranian flag. The poorly-photoshopped image showed Pelosi wearing hijab and Schumer with a turban on his head. "Democrats 2020," the text on the bottom of the image read.
Mr. Trump retweeted the image from an anonymous account with the alias "D0wn_Under." In the original tweet, "D0wn_Under" wrote: "the corrupted Dems trying their best to come to the Ayatollah's rescue." The same account has tweeted extensively about a conspiracy that Speaker Pelosi is supposedly aiding or working for Iran.
The fake image was just one of the anti-Pelosi messages the president retweeted on Monday, many of them using the same hashtag: #NancyPelosiFakeNews. Bot Sentinel , a site that analyzes the behavior of Twitter accounts, said the hashtag was being widely spread by "inauthentic accounts" such as automated bots and anonymous trolls.
.....Pelosi sounded anything but sympathetic to Iran. She called Iranian General Qassem Soleimani , who was killed in a U.S. drone strike, "a terrible person," and stated, "The motivations of Iran are bad. So there's not question about that."
Mr. Trump's series retweets also included a photo of Pelosi with Muslim-American Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
On Monday, he also tweeted that the "Democrats and the Fake News are trying to make terrorist Soleimani into a wonderful guy, only because I did what should have been done for 20 years. Anything I do, whether it's the economy, military, or anything else, will be scorned by the Rafical Left [sic], Do Nothing Democrats!"

So now Trump is personally retweeting from fake anti-Pelosi conspiracy accounts.
This seems normal or acceptable to some of you?
A cartoon? A meme? It was fake? That BASTARD. Another lie. I feel so stupid.
So you think the fact that the president of the United States is spreading information from fake and bot twitter accounts is amusing?
Attitudes like that are why the country is so fucked up.
People who don't see anything wrong with this are what's wrong with our country.
Party over country - disgusting.
According to the story, the twitter account that Trump copied this from is likely a fake account and a malicious robot.
That is as disturbing as the silly cartoon. Trump will do anything, including spread fake news from fake accounts, to advance his personal agenda.
Yeah, telling the plain truth about Trump and his supporters is such spewing.
If the shoe fits...
About as acceptable as the President being called a Russian agent every day for 3 years
Vic, you have no standards of behavior that you require this president to conform to. We already know that.
You got that right, I'm far more interested in substance over form!
Is that your euphemism for lying thousands of times?
He got elected because enough white people wanted to to take "their" country back to enable him to squeak out an electoral college win.
Well at least you admit Trump is low.
The resistance is low!
You sound very angry. Chill.
Then you're backing the wrong horse in this 'president'
Quite angry.
Skank? You shouldn't talk about your First Lady like that.
Yeah, Melania is quite the skank.
A skank by any other name is still a skank, Melania.
And yet....................
So it is jealousy then. Why else would one want to emulate?
No, it's not jealousy. I don't need plastic surgery.
Ok....What does it mean?
It gets under the "Lefts" skin.
I love it.
Trump just got the "Left" looking at that "Squirrel" again.
The U.S. and China ready to sign trade Agreement No. 1 !
It is normal for Trump and totally unacceptable.
He's really started to get desperate about the effect impeachment on his popularity-- so he's desperately trying to distract from that....
There are a few Trumpsters who will see that photo , and see it in Trump's twitter, who will believe that because the president posted it , it is real. These simple (minded) folk will think that Pelosi and Schumer actually did pose in front of an Iranian flag , and are wearing Muslim clothing, because they are really Muslims. And such people will also vote for Trump.
Such people are too stupid to not vote for Trump, even without fake news.
Trump spreads more fake news than anyone. Obama never met with Rouhani, the photo was an obvious fake.
Doesn't matter how many times you debunk the lies, they just keep peddling them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Once again Crooked donnie makes a mockery of the office of the presidency and his supporters lap up the crap he spews forth as gospel. Sad, really sad.
LIB, this is why it is useless to try and reason with them. I see so many people try to "persuade" Trumpsters on NT , and elsewhere, and it is just pointless. Trumpism has to be defeated and thrown on the trash heap of history where all malignant ideologies and movements go.
That's sadly typical of Rump's moral compass. Pathetic.
