President Trump used the first part of his holiday weekend getaway to issue more denunciations of the news media, using a celebration of American veterans and freedom at an evening rally to thunder that he would not allow the “fake” media to stop his agenda.
Speaking to raucous supporters at a faith rally at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington Saturday night, Mr. Trump brought the crowd to its feet by condemning news organizations.
“The fake media is trying to silence us,” Mr. Trump told the crowd at the concert hall, after returning to Washington briefly from his weekend getaway at his golf club in New Jersey. “But we will not let them. Because the people know the truth. The fake media tried to stop us from going to the White House. But I’m president and they’re not.”
"I'm president, and you're not." So incredibly juvenile.
Remember countries around the world are watching this, and learning something about America that we have been denying for decades.
That there is a large segment of the population who are easily manipulated, and who respond to authoritarian language containing any buzzwords about freedom, patriotism, or family and religious values, regardless of who spouts them.
That was how the Russians used social media to inspire support for Donald Trump, and turn voters against Hillary Clinton.
And it is how they, and others, will continue to manipulate us for many years to come.
That is unless we educate a whole lot of people, in a very limited period of time.
