WASHINGTON: With rigged images, distorted quotes and diabolical attributions, the United States is descending into a dubious, high-decibel election campaign that is calling into question its status as the world’s most stable and enduring democracy.
In an ugly turn of events, Trump’s Republicans and Democrats are now routinely accused of manipulating the facts, invoking everything from the “deep state” to “deep falsification” to conjure election victory. The President of the United States himself has set the tone in demagoguery and division by unleashing a strident racist campaign that included a shocking defense of a young white vigilante who is accused of the murder of two BLM protesters in Wisconsin, while invoking profound forces. and dark that he said they were trying to destroy America.
“He was trying to get away from them, I think, it seems. I guess he was in big trouble. They probably would have killed him, but he’s under investigation,” Trump said at a White House briefing on Monday, virtually laying out the defense of Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, a vigilante who Trump’s Republicans now hail as a hero.
Then the president of the United States unleashed a tirade against the “radical left” Democrats, while speaking on his favorite Fox News about the dark forces that were trying to destroy America. “We had someone get on a plane from a certain city this weekend. And on the plane it was almost completely full of thugs who were wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that. They are on a plane.” Trump vaguely accused in an interview. Joe Biden, he lamented, was having his “strings” pulled by “people you’ve never heard of, people in the dark shadows.”
Even the sycophantic host was taken aback and asked, “What does that mean? Sounds like a conspiracy theory.” “I’ll tell you at some point. It’s under investigation right now,” Trump said vaguely, stating that the money to foment the unrest comes from “some very stupid rich.” [who] I have no idea that if they ever make it, which they won’t, they’ll be thrown to the wolves like you’ve never seen them before. ”
Meanwhile, Trump supporters engaged in directly manipulating the videos to portray Biden as a wavering geriatrician supporting a violent uprising.
A video clip they released was edited to show the Democratic nominee saying ‘You will not be safe in Joe Biden’s America’, taking out of context what Biden actually said in a speech in Pittsburgh: “And since they don’t have an agenda or vision for A second term, Trump and Pence are running on this: ‘You will not be safe in Joe Biden’s America.’ And what is your proof? The violence you’re seeing in America from Donald Trump. ”
Twitter flagged the video for tampering. It also removed a claim that downplayed the number of coronavirus deaths that Trump himself retweeted.
Democrats are not lagging behind, fighting back with their own videos showing Trump as mentally and physically incapacitated for office. A new book from a New York Times scribe that says Vice President Mike Pence was put on hold to temporarily assume the powers of the presidency during Trump’s visit to Walter Reed Hospital last November for an annual physical, a standard procedure. in case he had to be anesthetized – he was taken advantage of by Trump haters to speculate that he had had or has had a series of strokes, with vivid descriptions of his gait, posture, slurring, etc.
Broadly speaking, there are three areas in which the two sides are doing their best to portray the other in a negative light: accusing each other of selling out or being lackeys to foreign forces, especially Russia in the case of Trump and China in the Biden case. ; Accusing Others’ Supporters Of Fostering Violence And Civil Unrest Across The Country: Trump Escalates Charges Against Protesters Black Lives Matter, Who Now Describes As A “Marxist Group,” And Antifa, An Amorphous Group Without Structure described as a terrorist organization; and Democrats who criticize gun-loving white nationalists. And both sides try to expose the rival candidate as old and unfit for office.
Trump, 74, and Biden, 77, with a combined age of 151 between them, are the oldest contestants in history for the White House.
