Sorry, I should have tagged it properly.

Warning! Sarcasm ahead.

Ahem, it's the Gulf of America. Please get your facts right

There is absolutely no way to determine if somebody is being facetious or serious over the Internet without further context. (Use a damn /s ffs)

Who could be serious saying that ??? (I don't think Donald is posting here onlemmy)

Have you seen the state of the world today?

77 million people voted for trump in 2024. Even if you subtract the 50% that can't write, that leaves more than 38 million people who could seriously say this on Lemmy. Don't pretend that the orange clown ruined the country all by himself.

It's a lazy joke that the other person already made better.

The sarcasm/joke is obvious, it just wasn't funny.
