There is no question in my mind that Trump was playing out of Putin's playbook and it worked for him

Call all legitimate media reports "fake news"
Lie , lie, lie. When that seems to not work double down on the lie. Your supporters will believe you and not their lying eyes and ears.
Accuse your enemies of making stuff up no matter what the evidence shows.
When shit goes bad, blame someone else, fire someone and move on.
Talk about the weakness of others (even if you make it up).

Rinse, and repeat. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Never worry about who gets hurt, who is killed, or who is imprisoned. Keep the lie going.

Your braindead supporters will believe you no matter what and you will look strong in their eyes.

1. Agreed.

But what is being done to counter it? Trump is still getting away with being Trump.

2. It worked for him until HE LOST.

3. Almost identical methods of propaganda.

4. Trump took advantage of tens of millions of sheep brainwashed for years by Fox News and Talk Radio

These people were willing to believe Trump's lies because they have been indoctrinated to hate liberals for decades.

5. putin and fsb trained him well

and he is still the most popular republican among gop voters and would easily landslide any primary. We need to be prepared to run against him again. Desantis will
never win gop primary against trump, probably not even in FL.

6. T***p sells mental packing peanuts to fill the minds of the incurious.

T***p sells brain fillers to take up space.

But, T***p did lose a big sale recently.
