The goal is to take over the words of the resistance. Co-opt 'complicit' - which now means working with Traitor Trump - to mean something different.

This is what Putin did on the way to dictatorship.

It is unbelievable that trump is trying to dictate what people watch. If it is real it must be trump and his off spring behind it.

It just conjures up images of grade school...

Abuses power... Rants... Unethical.. etc.. etc..

It paints Trump as being in the position of power by default.

Perhaps CNN should start a propaganda campaign exposing Trump Hotels, golf facilities and casinos! Air reports of poor service, facilities and accommodations, imported products in hotel rooms, etc.

If they can demean CNN's product, then CNN should be allowed to demean Trump's products.
