Welp, it's not worth seeing your "contributions" around here, is it.

Hmm yeah I knew that other commenter who insisted everyone was taking it as a joke but pretending it was literal was full of shit... Anyway.
How are you to assess their delivery? You're not (presumably) their friend. The fact that it doesn't come of as humorous to an external reader shouldn't be a surprise - or shall we analyse some of your texts without context :P
Someone else put forward the completely plausible scenario of a photo of Trump in a position where it kind of looks like he's sucking off Clinton, which became an in-joke. Is that so unbelievable to you?
This is a case of those opposed to trump being completely credulous because it suits their beliefs, and noone would be taking it seriously if it were someone more aligned with them - which in that case would be very reasonable.
As someone who has used AI art and who is learning to draw, I can assure you I know exactly how untalented I am. This hokey nonsense isn't aimed at me.
Your joke but worse
There is a line in an email that refers to "trump blowing bubba".
It's not clear who "bubba" is, but it's one of Clinton's nicknames.
More importantly though, it's not clear that the line is intended to be taken seriously. Obviously a lot of people want it to be true though.
Do you know about how much it cut out?
Which polls?
You take that back!
I never knew about the recut, but presumably it gets rid of a lot of the monster-of-the-week content?
I don't think any of that was actually bad. It didn't move the overarching plot along all the time, but that wasn't the point.
I think the evidence against it being intended seriously is that Trump is an apparently straight man. Now, there's a lot of reasons an apparently straight man would suck off a dude, so it's far from impossible, but: the vast majority of apparently straight men are actually straight, and the vast majority of straight men would prefer not to have oral sex with a man, so I think this does count as evidence against it being literally true.
There's a particular online discourse that sees Trump and MAGA as not merely being a bit hypocritical, but as being extremely hypocritical - a strand which believes that every Republican expressing homophobia as being closeted. So I think while people understand on one level that it's not reasonable to think that some random guy who professed to be straight actually sucked off another guy on the basis of an email from someone shady, when the guy is not random but the leader of MAGA, those people instead leap on it because it fits with that hypocrisy narrative.
You're absolutely right that we don't know which of the possibilities is true, but I said what I did because it seems like a lot of people are just taking it at face value, which doesn't seem smart.
