Trump buys Gesa building? Why the prank on Mallorca echoed so loudly

Answer

Why did the fake Trump story about the Gesa building in Mallorca spread so quickly?

The report spread fast because it sounded plausible at first glance and touched a building many people in Mallorca already know. The Gesa building is a visible and sensitive local landmark, so any claim about a sale or new use immediately attracts attention. Strong visuals and social media sharing made the story move faster than the correction.
