The facts: Trump never said the words attributed to him in the photo, because these were only originally published on a satirical website. Thinking Minds did not cite the source and made it appear like the information is real.
Satirehumorblog.altervista.org posted the original article titled, “Trump Slams The Netherlands for Harboring Terrorist Leader Joma Sison, Wants ICC Transferred to UN Headquarters in New York.” The date of publication is not indicated in the article.
The website also categorized the article under “news and satire.” The page also has “Satire and Humor blog” in its header. – Pauline Macaraeg/Rappler.com
