In addition, when posting on Truth Social, the platform does not display a preview of a link from a news website before a user’s post gets published. All Truth Social users experience this lack of link previews, not just Trump. So when Trump posted this particular article, he was not sharing a photo he had uploaded as a meme, and he would not have seen that the Bragg-baseball bat collage would be the photo featured on the link before he made the decision to publish the post.
“We posted the story, but they had a picture up, and they then put a picture up, or the picture was put up, and nobody noticed or saw, or nobody thought it was bad. These were two separate pictures,” Trump emphasized to Hannity.
In fact, since the Hannity interview, National File said on Twitter that it takes responsibility for the creation of the image — which the publication still has up.
“It’s our image,” National File said in a tweet with a clip of Trump explaining this on Hannity’s show.
“The issue is the NY Post and everyone else made it out to be your image, when it was ours,” National File added.
All the damage the left has done to this nation, and they're still angry about a few.mean tweets!
It's our image, President. @stockes76 made it.
