How is it misleading? If the words are the same, how is it misleading to write them like that? US public policy is done by tweets and telegram messages anyway
The medium is the message.
An official letter, on letterhead, is different than a text message.
Not really that different, if we're talking about a wannaby autocrat who governs by insane tweets from his golden shitter
So it would be even stranger for him to send this on headed notepaper
I mean, he would never do it anyway, writing a letter on an official paper is work, and work is not what he's known for. Did he send a message from a shitter to the guy he has that writes it on an official paper, or did he send it directly to the intended recepient? Fuck does this matter at this point, both actions has the same political power.
I'm having a go at the reporting. Any excuse can be used to label something "fake news". The standard of the truth needs to be high.
"how does changing the format, content, and method of communication change a communication???"
Is the content different? Did he actually send this words or not?
Because if not, then yeah, format and method of communication doesn't matter here. This is how he governs, by sending tweets and whatever scribbles to some people to then implement.
🤡
It answers different questions than I was asking, but it answers them.
