Is Trump really waving to nobody? No. Ron F can’t be trusted.

 Despite me not voting for Trump back to 2016 (I also won’t this year) and despite Trump constantly telling lies, I hate seeing misinformation spewed from any source regardless of the side and am not afraid to post about it.

 This is outright disinformation by the tweeter Ron Filipkowski:

“Trump with his signature ‘wave to nobody for the camera’ move today in NC.”

 He’s actually waving to people already at the rally, which is right there at the airport. This camera angle doesn’t show the people because they’re to the left out of view. Plus the sound of the people is drowned out. Ron Filipkowski putting out this misinformation doesn’t help his side because it gives the Trump folks ammunition. Ron has done this before with a supposed “wave to nobody” that was shown to be false by Snopes:

 If you go to just after 36 minutes of the following video of Trump’s arrival, you’ll actually see those same Trump waves from a camera in the adjacent rally location. You’ll see he’s waving to the crowd, which has many waving to him:

 Ron Filipkowski cannot be trusted. Also, note that Snopes is defending Trump here. Some cons feel Snopes is always going up against Trump/GOP. That’s certainly not the case here.
