Dunning-Kruger Fact Check Service
@krugerdunning.bsky.social
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities…
Satire.
Fact:
Trump offers the choice of a promise (!!) for $5000 in *crypto*, to Arabs who leave Gaza for… somewhere — or else death, starvation, and terror to Arabs who stay.
Is this a… voluntary choice?


Check:
Sounds good. Sure.

Will I get travel discounts to the Trump Gaza Resort, after it opens?
September 1, 2025 at 1:22 PM
Fact:
Trump has asked the *military* to take over US cities with opposition local governments.
Is this… fascist (?) — or is it characteristic of a man with even the slightest desire to lead a democracy?


Check:
It doesn't matter. It won't affect me directly.
August 28, 2025 at 5:36 PM
Fact:
Back in March, a convicted felon arsoned 80+ years of good will among Western allies in *less than 5 min.* (!!), by publicly abusing the president of Ukraine.

Maybe.
Will it make me forget that he's a pedo rapist?
August 18, 2025 at 10:53 AM
Fact:
Trump sent ICE to arrest the audience for a speech by CA's governor.
His Homeland Security Sec. had promised to liberate LA from "socialists"…

Is this like when Hitler sent the SA to arrest "socialists" in 1933?

Check:
I was taught that Hitler *was* a socialist (!!)
Your question is stupid.
August 15, 2025 at 8:39 AM
Fact:
Trump has placed Washington DC police under his control, and deployed the National Guard there, to enforce his authority.
Could this be a prelude to state repression, nationwide?

And this is OK because… they deserve it.
August 11, 2025 at 7:30 PM
Fact:
Trump has ordered Republicans to cheat voters in TX by shaping election districts to guarantee GOP wins.

Will Democrats fight back where they can, in CA?
Or just sit still, and take their beating?

Ha! Democrats are diabolical cheaters. And snowflakes.
They are diabolical snowflakes.
August 4, 2025 at 12:57 PM
Fact:
Trump’s border czar announced on Monday that he will send federal police into NYC to kidnap and deport brown people.

Will this distraction cause the MAGA cult to forget that Trump is a narcissistic sociopath who is a pathological liar… and also a child rapist?



Well, will it??
July 24, 2025 at 3:41 AM
Fact:
Trump's AG has declined to release evidence collected during the Epstein investigation, which names each of his elite child molester pals — something which Trump has promised many times to do.

I don't care.
When can I watch more video of —

Wait. What?!
July 16, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Fact:
Trump's terror police decline to raid high-income gated communities in Florida. They will not kidnap or deport domestic servants there, although 60% of them are immigrants.

I don't care —
As long as I'm not deported, it doesn't matter.
July 7, 2025 at 9:09 PM
Fact:
Trump forced Republican Senators to give stolen public health care to the rich — leaving millions without coverage so millionaires can buy extra yachts.

When can I watch more video of ICE agents handcuffing and frog marching hispanics?
July 1, 2025 at 8:23 PM
Fact:
Iran had no atomic bombs last week. This week, following an unprovoked attack on their nuclear labs, Iran still has no atomic bombs…
But we are at war with Iran.
Was Trump's attack a success?


I don't care —
When can I watch more video of ICE agents handcuffing and frog marching hispanics?
June 23, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Fact:
ICE has no authority to arrest US citizens, but they arrest dissenters with impunity, as though they've been ordered to.
Is ICE a terror squad, like Trump's NKVD… or Stasi?


I don't care —
I get to watch elected Democrats being cuffed and frog marched on live TV, from the comfort of my sofa!
June 17, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Fact:
The US military (!) used fear to influence politics by harassing protesters today.
It's the definition of terrorism.
Should the US *add itself* to its own state-sponsored terrorism blacklist?


I don't care —
I get to watch protesters being tear gassed on live TV, from the comfort of my sofa!
June 9, 2025 at 10:29 PM
Fact:
The SBU just destroyed a full *third* of Russia's irreplaceable strategic bombers, at the expense of 117 remote-control drones and 4 common lorries.

They are!
Russia is 20 times the size of Ukraine — just look at a map!
June 4, 2025 at 3:26 PM
Fact:
Our convicted felon of a president has now publicly humiliated the leader of a *second* nation.
Will envoys of any of our allies ever again consent to share common space with this man?

America has "power", so every *self-respecting* ally will beg for a chance to be humiliated!
May 26, 2025 at 10:23 AM
Fact:
Tiffany Trump's father-in-law is a launderer of Nigerian money and, like Elon Musk, a "Senior Advisor to the President".
Should he leverage his ties with Libyan warlords to accommodate the resettlement of 1M ethnically cleansed Gazans?


Of course!
The cost of serving Trump is never too high…
May 20, 2025 at 3:58 AM
Fact:
Trump, who is neither dictator nor king, has signed yet another executive order purporting to improve the lives of his cult.
Do his "orders", issued without authority, mean anything, or are they just more bullshit?


Trump's a "businessman"
Whatever he says, goes
No one fucks with *that* guy…
May 12, 2025 at 1:10 PM
Fact:
Trump has alienated allies, and destroyed America's international reputation.
He's a client of dictators.
Why did you vote for such a destructive, psychotic autocrat?

He's a "businessman" (!!)
No one's going to fuck with *that* guy.
May 5, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Fact:
Trump, who will not — that is, should not — face another election… held a *campaign rally* in MI yesterday.

Accomplishments, of course —
A convicted felon under indictment for espionage and treason is highly accomplished!
April 30, 2025 at 12:50 PM
Fact:
RFK, Jr. knows next to nothing about medicine.
He admits the cause of autism is unknown but insists that it MUST BE an environmental toxin.
Of some kind.

Is Junior a sentient archetype of the Dunning–Kruger Effect in action?


Nothing of the sort!
He's a Kennedy,
And this makes him special.
April 21, 2025 at 12:18 PM
Fact:
National security advisor Michael Waltz broke records laws while compromising national security, by conducting official business via Gmail.
HRC was accused of doing this with a private server in 2016.

No way!
He's a Republican. And a man.
He can do whatever he wants!
April 14, 2025 at 12:07 PM
Fact:
Elon Musk, a non-citizen guest in the US, has offered to *pay* voters to elect Republicans.
Should his green card be revoked for this felony?
Should he be arrested and removed to prison, then deported back to South Africa?


No chance!
Rules don't apply to billionaires.
Besides, he's *white*!
April 7, 2025 at 10:26 AM
Fact:
Senior national security officials planned an impending military attack over an insecure, publicly available messaging app — while including a *member of the press* in their discussion (!!)

We all dial wrong numbers sometimes, don't we?
They're just like us!
March 31, 2025 at 9:06 AM
Fact:
Our president has ordered the incarceration of 238 men in an offshore prison — men who he *claims* are criminals, but who he has declined to prosecute, or even indict.
Is this… kidnapping?


Not at all!
These men are Venezuelan, so they *must* be criminals.
They're getting what they deserve!
March 24, 2025 at 2:17 PM
Fact:
Speaker Johnson has urged Republicans to avoid public encounters with constituents who might "humiliate" them before they can be *physically removed*.

America is a republic, not a democracy.
It says so, right in our most sacred legal code — The Pledge of Allegiance!
