Effort to manipulate killing of Alex Pretti collapsed after footage torpedoed ‘domestic terrorist’ claim – could this be a turning point?
Facing a widespread backlash from the public, Democrats and even his own Republican party, Trump was forced into a partial retreat, distancing himself from efforts by aides such as Stephen Miller and Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, to demonise Pretti, and shuffling leadership of immigration operations in Minneapolis.
For once, the president’s reality distortion field – which promised Mexico would pay for his border wall, claimed Covid would disappear “like a miracle”, insisted the 2020 election was stolen, and rewrote the history of the January 6 insurrection – had met its match.
Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post warned: “Mr President, the American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes.”
Krasnov really tried to test the 5th Avenue comment I guess.
Though I’m honestly still skeptical. My fellow Americans have proven to have goldfish memory. After all, we all said the J6 fallout was the final nail in the coffin, but they had gaslit reality within fucking weeks.
Americans watch too much television. TV is controlled by the wealthy and friends of Trump. All this will be drowned out by bread and circuses in a week.
People know Trump lies. It’s Congress that they believe.
“We need to stop Trump!”
Votes to approve his budget, cabinet, won’t vote to impeach and remove from office
Good news: Teh Graniuad is able to print the word “lies” in relationship to trump
Bad news: they still chicken out and apply it to a faceless organization
The only saving grace of the trump administration is that he came along during a period of history where everyone has a video camera in their pocket
Tbf I don’t think he would have become the president without twitter and the overall tech billionare’s help.
