This is actually a great example of how modern day propaganda works. One tactic to discredit someone is to combine two true statements by them that look similar to create a false statement. Case in point:
Claim 1: Trump says he was against the war before it started. In the Cavuto interview he's questioning the war, and he says he used to argue with Sean Hannity about it. Sean Hannity backed this up. There's no reason to doubt this.
Claim 2: Trump says he's different from his opponents because he came out strongly against the war before anyone else did. That's a fact and there's plenty of evidence.
Then comes the spin. The media will mix the two statements together to say Trump said he came out strongly against the war before it started. They'll use this to call him a liar. Try to find me one example of him saying he came out strongly against the war before it started. You can't, because he never did.
This is why people don't trust the media.
- zepto 10y agoNope. Claiming he was against the war, after it started is irrelevant. It doesn't matter how many times you act as though it is. One person saying they had a private argument with him before the war is also irrelevant. How many other people had private arguments but didn't express these reservations publicly? If Trump was against the war before it started and had been brave enough to say so there would be evidence. There is not. You can support Trump without having to be his propaganda ministry. The man makes false statements.
- SnowFace 10y agoWhen did Hillary come out against the war?
- zepto 10y agoIrrelevant. Hillary has nothing to do with Trump's lies. And no failure of hers excuses him of anything. It looks like you can't defend him anymore.
- SnowFace 10y agoSeems my point flew over your head again. You keep calling things irrelevant that you don't like. I'm done.
- zepto 10y agoNo - you tried to make this about Hilary - when it isn't - it's just about Trump lying. If you seriously don't see Trump lying, it probably is better for you to bow out.
