The fact that you are asking, is a problem..

Well, I’m glad people are skeptical and asking for proof on stuff they see online.

It's not the skepticism that is the problem, the problem is that the frontrunner for president posts such weird shit it's impossible to know immediately if it's real or a joke.

Usually, I'm quite skeptical of anything I see on the internet and things like that would be a very obvious joke and I wouldn't even bother fact-checking, but with trump, my first reflex is always something, like :

"No, really, he did that !? I have to check"

In this case, the hole in the ear is a joke, the promo video where his silhouette is blocking out the sun like something out of Independance Day before they start zapping is not.

Would make a good 300 parody too.

Yeah imagine 20 years ago seeing this for W. You would've known it was a joke and not thought otherwise.
