    • Former President Donald Trump holds gold Trump sneakers at Sneaker Con Philadelphia in Philadelphia, PA.

  • Accuracy
    • The dueling chants made it difficult to hear Trump speak sometimes
    • Trump last year reported making between $100,00 and $1 million from a series of digital trading cards that portrayed him through photo editing
  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that Trump met with boos and chants while selling sneakers in Philadelphia. However, this is not entirely accurate as there were both cheers and boos present at the event. Secondly, Trump's speech was often drowned out by members of the crowd who were chanting anti-Joe Biden or USA slogans instead of focusing on his pitch for merchandise. This suggests that the article is intentionally misleading in its portrayal of events.

  • Fallacies (75%)
    The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the former President Donald Trump is a well-known figure and has been in the public eye for many years. This statement implies that his words should be taken as fact without question, which is not true. Additionally, there are examples of inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article such as
    • Trump's five-minute remarks were sometimes barely able to be heard as members of the diverse young crowd were consistently screaming and chanting throughout.
    • <br>What’s the most important thing: to go out and vote, right? We have to go out and vote. We got to get young people out to vote.<br>
  • Bias (80%)
    The article is biased towards the former President Donald Trump. The author uses language that dehumanizes his opponents and portrays him as a victim of unfair treatment by the media and legal system.
