@aral I know, and it’s freaking awesome, but I’m not buying the complete legitimacy of this actual image. Still, omg! 🙀😹

@wendinoakland There is also video if you look for it.

Actually, there's video even if you don't look for it!

@aral Yup, I know, not doubting the event, crazy as it is. Just uncertain about that specific photo… almost, maybe, too perfect?

@wendinoakland @aral

It would suggest an intentional protest...

Only, with a #cybertruck the most unlikely aspect of this photo would be that it remained operational long enough to be relocated in front of the hotel BEFORE it was engulfed in flames

@wendinoakland @aral Word on the street is that "TRUMP" over the doorway is photoshopped in, but everything else, cybertruck, fire, location, are all real.

@jhavok @wendinoakland @aral seems legit, this same pic is on the cnn frontpage, including "trump" :)

@jhavok @wendinoakland @aral It's clearly visible in the video. Trump puts his name in big letters everywhere on his buildings. You wouldn't need to fake that.

@maccruiskeen @wendinoakland @aral I circled Trump International Hotel LV in Google Maps but couldn't find a matching location, however, the imagery is 4 years old. There are a lot of Trump logos, but they don't quite match the one in the photo, they're more garish.

@wendinoakland @maccruiskeen @aral Not disputing it, I just do this kind of stuff for fun. I might try Streetside if I'm bored at work.

@aral @wendinoakland @maccruiskeen This is more recognizable as what is visible on Google Maps.
