> “Do you know what rhymes with Donald Trump? America. Greatness in America only comes from Donald Trump. Donald Trump,” read the message, which was cross posted on several subreddits. “Donald Trump (唐纳德·特朗普) is the best, greatest, premier of the peoples Republic of the United States of Ameria [sic]. Batman, was a billionaire. Do you know what Superman was too? Batman. All four were Batman. You know who else was and still IS a billionaire? Donald Trump. Donald Trump is such a good President that he is best friends to the superior China (Peoples Republic of).”

What part of that is supposed to be pro-Trump

> What part of that is supposed to be pro-Trump

The intentions of the author(s) seem inscrutable; all the same, it seems broadly positive. Which part isn’t pro-Trump?

I can copy and paste the entire thing again if you'd like to see the part which is very clearly not being straightforward. I'm not sure how one could read that text and not recognize the dishonesty oozing out of every sentence.

> Donald Trump is such a good President that he is best friends to the superior China (Peoples Republic of).”

Is there something unclear about what I'm saying?

It seems like you’re implying being friendly with China or Chinese people is a bad thing, or that we should have a negative association with Trump or America being close with China? Why would that be bad? I don’t want to assume that you meant that, however.
I'm not going to walk you through reading comprehension, but if you can't recognize the oozing underlying sneer of that quote and the blatant cherry on top finish, then I encourage you to work on that skill
I understood that is one possible interpretation; however, the intentions of the hackers are unknown, and so you’re assuming that they meant it that way. Or perhaps it’s a double bluff, or even a triple bluff. How would we know?

Easy on the personal attacks, bud. Implying I don’t know what you know is rude, plain and simple. I’m sure you already knew this, I’m just letting you know I see you and how you twist your argument to make others appear to be your lesser. It’s a bad look. Try to argue in better faith. Or don’t, your choice.

Thanks for discussing this with me.
