Real media would have been on it if it were legit.

Remember actual crazy tweets like "covfefe" and the Cinco De Mayo taco bowl tweet? Media picked up on those super fast.

Nowhere outside of a few random twitter accounts have claimed this is true.

Thing is, I'm not sure how I knew. Is it quantitatively or qualitatively more ridiculous than other things he's actually said or tweeted? I don't think so.

Why remove satire? GD is an appropriate forum for it.

Seems overly-simplistic to misinterpret satire as fake though.

Where I live (Germany), "Vatertag" means "males spend some time in nature (hiking etc.) and drink LOTS OF ALCOHOL in groups without their kids and wifes".

So it's not really about being a father, as kids should be left at home to protect them from drunk men. Very sad IMO. Basically, it's a day for fathers to get away from their "annoying wife and kids" and do what is most important to them, get drunk. I hate it.

Obviously, Trumps many families have not celebrated Father's Day like the rest of us do.

Either that, or they sent him a card and he didn't read it, since he doesn't like to read.

Hey, Trumpee! Check your vitamin B-12. I think your levels are low to non-existent.

Trump is stupid, but his little versions of Bevis and Butthead would have obnoxiously observed Father’s Day to ingratiate themselves to Shitler over the years.

It's not real.

If it were real, CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, New York Times, etc. would have already mentioned it numerous times. Just like they did for "covfefe" and the taco bowl tweet.
