"No, President Obama is not getting paid royalties for Obamacare, as President Trump posted on Truth Social earlier today. It's not true. There's no truth to it. It's insane. The claim, if you can call it that, originated on a website called the Dunning-Kruger Times. More on that in a second. That's part of the America's Last Line of Defense Network, which is by definition describing itself as a network of parody satire and tomfoolery"
"And it starts in 1995, when some bank robbers outside Pittsburgh are picked up because they had robbed a bank with no mask, no disguise, no sunglasses, no mustaches. They were caught on closed circuit TV and they were stunned that they were caught. Why were they stunned? Because they were under the belief that if they put lemon juice on their faces, they would be invisible. That's what they thought."
A social media post claimed Barack Obama collects royalties from Obamacare. Fact-checkers debunked the claim and traced it to a parody site called the Dunning-Kruger Times. The site belongs to the America's Last Line of Defense Network and explicitly labels its content as fiction and satire. A televised rebuttal explained the Dunning-Kruger Effect and recounted a 1995 anecdote about bank robbers who used lemon juice expecting invisibility. The psychological research concluded that people with limited knowledge often overestimate their expertise. The false claim demonstrates how satire can be misread as factual content and spread widely online.
