The "gorilla channel" myth associated with a new book based on President Donald Trump was previously debunked but people are still going bananas by sharing memes inspired by the matter, which many others subsequently fell for.

A tweet Friday from cartoonist Ben Ward — also known as @pixelatedbot — included a parody excerpt of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury," a new book that gives readers further understanding into President Trump and the ongoings in his administration. The Twitter user's excerpt, while fake, claimed that Wolff's novel provided "shocking insight" into the 45th president's belief in the existence of the "gorilla channel."

"On the first night in the White House, President Trump complained that the TV in his bedroom was broken, because it didn't have the 'gorilla channel," the faux expert read. "Trump seemed to be under the impression that a TV channel existed and screened nothing but gorilla-based content, 24 hours a day."

"To appease Trump, White House staff compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel, broadcast into Trump's bedroom from a hastily-constructed transmission tower on the South Lawn. However, Trump was unhappy...because the 'gorillas aren't fighting,"

Just goes to show how out of touch with reality liberals really are

I love that channel, especially Stud your Silverback and Pillowtalk with Jane Goodall. Koko’s Karaoke grates on the nerves a bit.

The gorillas CAN hear him. We are waiting for our orders.

“That’s no gorilla, that’s Hillary Clinton!”

[EdnaMode]

That’s pretty funny. :D

[TigersEye]

The Orangutan Channel is more entertaining. Gingers rule!

[Enchante]

I’d pay for a channel to watch gorillas beating up on ANTIFA leftards 24x7. (kidding, I think)

Hoooo boy!

lol!

[sheana]

Stuff like this coming out means the guy was punked. Sounds like the word went out to feed him outrageous stories.

Gorilla Channel?

[Yaelle]

Just don’t watch Grillas Doin It By Themselves during dinner. Ew.

[Vision Thing]

Awesome insight! I hadn't even considered that as a possibility.

But now that your theory is out there, it would be hilarious if conservatives started feeding outrageous bs like this to all the shillers of fake news.

screened nothing but gorilla-based content, 24 hours a day

I'd watch that.

[Jeff Chandler]

I just thought of a joke about a gorilla channel but I can’t post it.

Current used to be the Gore-illa channel. Now it’s known as Al Gore-zeera.
