Washington DC, 25 February (H.S.): A viral X post claiming House Democrats rigged a thermal camera dubbed Trump Dump Detector for President Donald Trump's State of the Union went supernova with 25,000+ views, only to be debunked as satire from parody account @HalfwayPost.

Satirical Sting or Political Smear?

The tweet alleged live YouTube fecal surveillance for full transparency during Trump's address—pure fiction from a self-declared halfway true comedy profile with 111K followers. xAI's Grok swiftly fact-checked: no camera, no channel, just pre-SOTU snark.

Reactions Fuel Fire, Trump Pivots to Policy

Users split between laughter (Please tell me this is true) and credulity (What’s a Trump dump detector?), amplifying the gag. Trump, undeterred, plans to tout immigration curbs, federal downsizing, tariff defenses post-Supreme Court rebuke, and strikes on Iran/Venezuela—framing GOP as cost-of-living saviors per Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
