This is a blatant lie — but that's the point. It's Authoritarianism 101.

Trump lives to sow chaos and act like a strongman to cover for his rapidly declining popularity.

He needs to "other" his political opponents and stoke fear in order to hide his failures.

This is why we must not give in.

2. Skill and intelligence will not sell a **it sandwich

and Republicans know it.
