Sep 29

Why would any normal campaign want to purposely confuse its audience? They wouldn't. In the case of Trump and his cult its very explainable.

The want to keep them in a state of confusion about what is reality and what is fake. So that they can't believe in anything anymore. And at the same time Trump promotes himself alone as their saviour that will clear up all the confusion they are feeling.

Classic Fascist strategy.
