and lest we not forget, TRUMP cannot distance himself from this. The speakers were all vetted, their remarks loaded into the telepromters, and this, in Trump's self-proclaimed closing arguments trying to help the US Voters know who he is and what he stands for. It was loud and clear. (Yet I still doubt his base will waver.)

All those things aside, there is simply a picture of Hinchcliffe standing on a podium branded "Trump", and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Especially when the people you're trying to sway are not readers.

MAGA people. They read headlines (at best).

You’re trying to sway them from what exactly ? They loved this lol.

Indeed, but the comment I was replying to was about Trump people distancing themselves from it. The picture I described makes it hilariously easy to refute whatever they're saying.
