Gullible people are falling for a viral Facebook post and we’ve lost our faith in humanity

There are at least one million gullible people in this world.

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

On Facebook, that mantra is particularly important to note.

It feels as though, recently, the social media site has become a warzone of fake news, videos of French Bulldogs falling over, and your mam sharing dank Minions memes.

But lots of gullible people have fallen for the oldest trick in the Face-book this week, and all of those people should be ashamed of themselves.

A guy called Gavin Mccaster has photoshopped a chat between himself and Mark Zuckerberg, and is claiming that the Big Zuck will delete Donald Trump from Facebook if Gav does a Facebook status with 500k likes.

One million people have liked this tomfoolery.

One.

Million.

People.

Have.

Liked.

This.

What a world.

Gav didn’t stop there though, he also shared another supposed screengrab of a conversation between himself and Donald Trump, because Donald Trump definitely has time to respond to individual Facebook messages at the moment.

Definitely legit.
