This can't be real

Real tweet, fake text... no way any NATO leader would say "Europe is going to pay BIG" it's just too Trump. Same with the incessant comma splices.

But big congrats to Trump for ruining the information space so completely that I genuinely cannot tell what's real anymore.

I'm sure EVERY European politician randomly CAPITALISES words like some LUNATIC

And signs their essay texts with their name. Very common as we all know.

It's Mark Rutte. He certainly would write it like this.

I don't believe this is real, but the all caps words aren't random. They're clearly for emphasis, the same kinds of words I might capitalize for effect. That is not really the unbelievable aspect of this scenario.
