I'm all for making fun of Trump, but let's keep it factual. That image of Mamdani has the colors edited.

How do you know? How can we know?

I'm all for correcting misinformation, but let's keep it verifiable.

Because this is the original image: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/new-york-state-rep-zohran-mamdani-speaks-during-a-news-news-photo/1860623251

Edit to add: the image is from November 2023, by the way.

I just saw the original and i think it would work just as well. I have never seen Donald trump without a suit or his golf clothes before.

If you want to make that post, be my guest. But the only reason anyone is even talking about this two year old photo of Mamdani is because someone altered it to spin this narrative.

We don't need to spin a narrative to criticize a racist piece of shit fascist.
