I mean, I'm not treating it as reliable by any stretch of imagination. Not to mention that nothing Trump says has any meaning to begin with.

Posting it without comment or indication that it's misleading is treating it as reliable, or at least as reliable as any other news article posted here.

Obviously Trump is a fire hose of bullshit that is not shy about spewing bullshit, but if you just drop stuff here without comment we have no choice but to assume that it should be given the same weight as any other article. 'Do your homework' applies to both the poster and the reader.

I mean Times of India is about as reliable as any source on this. The reason I'm not treating it as reliable because I don't treat anything Trump says seriously, not because of the particular source.
