A lot of people listened and judged Trump as a [pretending] renegade player during the 2014 campaign. He platformed on “honesty and a willingness to be genuine and engage with people. Something pretty much all politicians are failing at these days.” Fetterman, same MO. Do you not see how Americans adore being psyoped into renegade prop?

    Trump published books on his lying long before he ever won office. And the media unforced, breathlessly hungrily gave him all the air time they could. Letting him lie to everyone. Whereas with Platner, the media is deluging and covering him in wildly biased and misrepresenting stories trying to attack him. Even the New York Times was called out by their sources.

    And like Fetterman, no books was written about him, and his Zionist ties. The media gave him “deluging and covering him in wildly biased and misrepresenting stories trying to attack him. Even the New York Times was called out by their sources.”
