The bottom line:
– The “$2.5 million a year from Obamacare” claim came from a satire site.
– That site clearly labels its content as fiction.
– Fact-checkers and journalists have debunked the story multiple times.
– The Affordable Care Act does not pay Obama personal royalties.
It’s a textbook example of how a joke headline, once removed from context and dropped into a hyper-partisan feed, can quickly turn into “fact” for people who never check where it came from.
