Boy, President-elect Donald Trump is really stupid, isn't he? Look at the horrified look on the translator's face as Trump says that the United States and Italy have been allies since the time of Ancient Rome. Trump doesn't even know that Italy fought with the Axis powers in World War II.
Trump said that the United States and Italy have been allies since the time of Ancient Rome. The translator's reaction is priceless. pic.twitter.com/l51xsGxhqj

Y’all really like to advertise your stupidity.

Yeah, it's not Trump whose stupidity is in question here. The post got 300,000 likes, though, so it did its job.
I get to upvote or downvote Community Notes. There are a lot of Community Notes suggested for this post. First of all, this clip comes from 2019. And second, Trump didn't say the U.S. and Italy had been allies since Ancient Rome. Someone even used Snopes for a source on this one:
This is a misleading claim from 2019.
Trump actually said:
“The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years, to ancient Rome …”
He did not claim they were allies the entire time.

I really hate when people do this with Trump. He never said that neo-Nazis were very fine people, even though President Joe Biden still repeats that lie and claims it's what inspired him to run for president.
The person who posted this apparently was trying to get attention to solicit donations for an electric wheelchair for an AFU veteran. Oh, and she also desperately needs money for groceries and diapers. Oh, and it's only a week until Christmas and she hasn't bought presents for the kids yet, so she posted her Amazon wish list. "Please help me buy gifts for the family of a disabled war veteran!"

He did not say that, what he actually said:
“The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years, to ancient Rome …”https://t.co/JE8pJn86n6
A lie so blatant that Snopes debunked it half a decade ago. pic.twitter.com/BNlRyLbBS6

He did not say that, but I get that you feel compelled to lie for the cause

Literally misquoting him.

Well, she's engagement farming, because she desperately needs money to buy an electric wheelchair and groceries and diapers and Christmas presents and she urgently needs one million readers.
"I am a member of the pro-Ukrainian partisan movement in the occupied territory," but she's also from Manitoba, Canada.
It's maddening when lies about Trump are spread around like this. Even Snopes fact-checked it.
Now that CNN's Daniel Dale and other fact-checkers have awakened from their four-year nap, I'd like to think they'd be watching out for stuff like this. At least we have Community Notes.
