Labeled Satire
In mid-May 2025, a widely shared meme claimed former U.S. President Bill Clinton received a $17 million helicopter from Saudi Arabia at the end of his presidential term and continues to use it. The meme spread after reports emerged that the nation of Qatar offered President Donald Trump's administration a Boeing 747-8 for use as Air Force One.
The full meme read:
This is the $17 million helicopter the Saudis gave Bill Clinton to use in their airspace.
They gave it to him as a parting gift when he left office. He still uses it to this day.
Not one single Democrat had anything to say.

(5,611 posts)for a long time; the entries are funny and over-the-top ridiculous. However, the staggering number of rubes who follow that page, and believe all of it to be true --and share the fake articles on their own timelines-- is horrifying. I've had acquaintances share content from ALLOD; when I point out that it's all fake, they always counter with something like "well.. there's two sides to every story, so how can anyone really be sure?" It's hopeless.
