To the editor:
Trump said this: “We are respected again. I can tell you that. We are respected again. A lot of things have happened. We’re respected again.”
Just there, he said “respected” three times. In “Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler wrote that propaganda “must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”
In January, Gallup reported that the median approval rating of U.S. leadership across 134 countries was at a record low of 30%, down from 48% during President Obama’s final year in office—the exact opposite of what Trump says.
Trump excels at propaganda and at keeping adversaries so off-balance they cannot turn his lies against him.
