Trump humiliated by fact-check after claiming Canada used AI for Reagan ad

The fact-check features a link to a transcript of Reagan's address from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, as well as full audio

President Donald Trump was once again fact-checked following an embarrassing tantrum over a Canadian advertisement.

The ad quoted former U.S. President Ronald Reagan from 38 years ago criticizing tariffs – a policy tool Trump frequently employs. The commercial includes audio clips from an April 25, 1987 radio address where Reagan stated: "Over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.‘’

    No he’s not humiliated, the guy can’t be humiliated, he’s a giant narcissist. He’ll simply day the facts are wrong and he’s right and that’ll be the end of it.

    Having said that, can we PLEASE start pushing journalists to stop using this clickbait language like slamming, blasting, humiliating, etc? It is so tiring.

    News doesn’t need to be 100% constant in your face exciting. Give me boring news, and lots of it

        Well yes but…

        I always saw it here and there, usually on articles from less reputable sources.

        Or it’s everywhere and always and it’s just insane to read basic headlines anywhere

        Yeah I remember complaining about “slammed” on Fark back in the day. That was at least 20 years ago.

      I wrote a similar reply to this post before I saw yours.

      I DESPISE this kind of perspective-isolating, emotion-validating, reinforced fantasy world that media has created. The article has zero content, it just repeats the taglines content of more reputable news sites but throws it in among about 3 million ads and slaps a fantasy-world headline on it to make people think we’re winning some points against the literal most powerful people on Earth who are celebrating their victories every day.

      Fuck this kind of clickbait, fuck people who post it. Sorry OP.

        Meh, have you forgotten the dumb stuff you said when you were 15? I know I was dumb back then, I won’t blame current generations for being dumb at that age. We had our own skibidi toilet, and we thought it was hilarious and people in their 40’s looked at me like I was a lost generation.

        I think I did fine. I think they’ll be fine
