Propaganda at its finest

I am beginning to wonder if the raid happened at all? Instead, just a fabrication by Trump to divert the attention away from all the other bad news?

The Situation Room photo is obviously staged. What did he say to the Generals to get them to pose for the photo with he and Pence and the Defense Secretary?

Would he create a narrative about the dogs, the tunnel, the whimpering and crying, just to win the next day's news cycle?

How do we know that it even happened?

Because he tweeted that "something big was about to happen"?

Russia says it didn't happen. Baghdadi has not been killed, they say?

Why should anyone believe a word he says?

There are no boundaries between a lie and the truth anymore.

Not good for a democracy.

But, we have seen no evidence and we have heard from no witnesses.

Remember "the little boy with the lawn care business" mowing the White House grass?
That young man had really never cut grass in his life. Notice all the strips of grass that he
missed when mowing the lawn. You mow with 1/2 to 1/4 of the deck over lapping the area
you just mowed to keep from getting those un-mowed strips.

Why are there no people standing around or looking for bodies?

Why do they have piles of stones that look as if they have been graded up by bulldozers?

Why are there no bulldozers in the photos?

Where's the video?
