Hey MAGA folks! do you ever wonder about why Trump has denounced most news sources as fake news? Do you think it might be possible that he only wants you to trust information coming from him?

Like theoretically do you understand why someone in charge would want you to not trust news sources?

Just like even as a thinking exercise. Why do you think a leader might not want people to trust the press? What reasons could there be for that?

Problem is, this rhetoric is infectious when there IS a grain of truth… Currently, every news source we can access is owned by just 15 billionaires who use the media solely to endlessly distract and divide us. Ofc Trump has no intention of fixing that – but neither do Dems… as long as they’re all ultimately bought by the same lobbyists, they’re just trying to keep us 50/50 so we can’t actually do anything of substance.

like he’s taught you and coached you that it’s fake news, that anyone who says anything bad about him is fake news. why would a person do that?

Op I respect tf out of the mission, I wish more people thought about this. To be honest I think many do in the backs of their mind, they just don’t wanna entertain the possibility that they fell for a trick
