Define tricked.

- genuinely believe something for a period of time?  

- spending a few moments trying to figure out if something is true?

Believed something enough to spread it like on twitter or as a forum thread.

I was too eager to share breaking news. I made the thread before clicking on anything

Jokes on you, I post lots of things I don't believe.
