29. Bottom line, Trump says it's "Treason." So do you.

I am not saying you are consciously or intentionally promoting Trump’s framing.

Nonetheless you are framing the editorial the same way Trump framed it.

You’ve done similar with false “Democrats in Disarray” narratives spread by the msm.

Again I don’t think in either of those cases it is intentional on your part.

All I know is that if I caught myself unconsciously echoing Trump talking points, I might step back and rethink things. Of course YMMV.
