Trump Hoax Hysteria: The Fake News No One Could Ignore
Hi Friends,
This week the internet went wild over a Trump hoax that somehow turned into real headlines. A rumor spread, went viral, and had millions of people convinced before the truth even caught up. In this set I talk about how fast fake stories travel online, why everyone believed it, and what we have to prepare for in a different political landscape. Donald Trump has been at the center of countless rumors and viral stories, but this one spread faster than most. From trending hashtags to full-on news coverage, the hoax fooled millions before it was debunked. I hope this set about it brightens your day.!

2/6/26 I love him. Became a member. I had tickets for a comedy club, what could be better? Then I had to miss it. Bought those tickets 6 months in advance. I almost flew home to see him. Need to watch and hope he comes back to Denver. He sure seemed very tired at the start of the set.

trump only knows how to steal, grift, fraud his way thru life. he doesn’t know anything about government, how it functions, what countries are our allies, which are enemies & where they are, why any of that is important, nor does he care

I think this guy is funny. but that fact that our govenment and soceity is so broken that this guy can make a living focusing on it. is not a good thing.

They don’t even let him tell a story without interruption. He’s so funny that the audience laughs in anticipation, with every syllable he utters! Funniest comedian out there today.

people who still support trump after everything he's done are the definition of sunk cost fallacy

I love u so much Josh. To point out that, with his make-up'd/bandaided hand, Trump is turning black is something noone else has spotted. He really has become mixed race at the very least 😅🎉

My only quibble with Mr. Johnson's excellent (as usual) brillant presentation is to suggest that people are born with a lnguage. Language, like religion, is learned. One of these is essential the other is not

And don’t forget, Trump wasn’t in office in 2008….

Americans are insane. He's a business man and he bankrupted a casino. He's an adjudicated sex offender. He's a convicted Felon. He was BEST FRIENDS with Epstein. I shouldn't need to go on… 😮

Any businessman that gets elected to President and doesn't immediately slash the military budget isn't much of a businessman. They're more of a mouthpiece for other real businessmen.

It’s hilarious that people thought Trump couldn’t be bought, he’s probably the most buyable president the US has ever had. He’s so buyable you don’t even need to bribe him for favors, just stroking his ego has been enough for him to do whatever some foreign leader or oligarch wants. He has no higher motivation than whatever makes him feel like a big man.

Preach mate. This French absolutely loves the way your mind works and your organic sense of ethics, all this while making us laugh is a rare talent. I saw you in Paris last time and will come again as soon as you do a new European tour. You're voice is a precious one to keep hope and sanity alive right now.

I absolutely love Josh Johnson's comedy and wish I could have gone to his show when he was in town!
So disappointed in the Albany audience for booing his last joke of the video, but Josh seemed to handle it gracefully ❤ I hope he comes back to the Albany FunnyBone someday

There’s always one person in these videos whose laughing stands out, and drives me nuts. I need to stop listening with headphones.

Once Trump is gone, everyone in the Maga world are gonna magically turn and say that Trump really did do all those horrible things.

Bush and Reagan laid the groundwork for Trump. It was decades in the making.
