Losing Trump Tries to Fool Voters with Last Ditch Media Propaganda Scam

The losing Trump campaign's latest Hail Mary is to try to fool voters with a last ditch media propaganda push by recruiting volunteers to blitz talk radio with "talking points" and "monitor" discussions and callers.


What to do when the October surprise aimed at your opponent flops and your polls are bad, so bad, really bad?

How about more propaganda!

The losing Trump campaign’s latest Hail Mary is to try to fool voters with a last ditch media propaganda push by recruiting volunteers to blitz talk radio with “talking points” and “monitor” discussions and callers.

Shared by Talk Show host and Editor-in-chief of Right Wisconsin.com Charlie Sykes:
Welp. Trump campaign planning "talk radio blitz." Recruiting volunteers to call shows with talking points. Link to Trump Talk site removed

Paid for by the Trump campaign:

I mean, it’s working so well for the Trump spokespeople, especially those propaganda artists embedded on a certain cable network. Why not organize non-professionals to give the same talking points and disseminate them in a way that appears “organic”. LOL, I kid. If you’ve run into these people in a comment section or forums you know they have the campaign message down so exactly as to be a screaming siren of talking points.

This is the last gasp of a sinking campaign trying to fool the voters with media propaganda dished out by “volunteers”. - PoliticusUSA

More like "astroturf volunteers and Baghdad Bobs." Put a torpedo in Donald's freak show campaign boat once and for all. Vote and lean on others you know to go early vote.

Every vote. Every state. That's how you protest the Party of NO and bring real change to Washington.
