    How Trump spreads misinformation

    https://a.msn.com/r/2/AAzd5Vx?m=en-us&ocid=News

    “What we’re seeing here is the standard process of Trump launching a series of lies into our media ecosystem and then watching it bounce around and amplify through the system,” said Siva Vaidhyanathan, a professor of media studies at The University of Virginia. “So to respond with anything reasonable to the fact that the president basically made stuff up is to extend the message and to throw a bomb” into the political debate.
    I don't understand why people could be okay with the POTUS telling such blatant lies. I mean, this is incomparable to any political act in the history of the U.S. It's one thing for a politician to make some bold promises to get people excited about an idea, and then it turns out later that it was just "hot air." That is the political kind of "lying" we are so used to. This is an entirely different thing. No sitting president has ever used his authority to directly and dishonestly dictate to the opinions of the American public in such a bombastic and untruthful way. All the while he is convincing people that he is not as "political" as his opponents are. Yet, 90% of everything he says is entirely political in purpose.
    Faith can move mountains, but don't forget to bring your shovel.

    It's his style of doing business right or wrong. We'll see what transpires during the mid-term elections; if people are fed up, there will be change; if not, then the status quo will continue. Only time will tell.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    The true misinformation being dispersed in this country is from the liberal media, they have been caught numerous times in the last year and half out right LYING they had to retract dozens of made up bull$#@! stories about trump and just plain outright misinformation.

    Unlike other Trump supporters, I believe the GOP is going to get hammered in the midterms

    I thought you were leaving. Guess lying from you is okay.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    I thought so after the massive budget. Now I believe the opposite is true.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
