Dear Friend, Trump points to protests and clashes in major American cities as a warning of what a Biden administration would bring. But as The New Republic’s Matt Ford points out: “Left unsaid is the inescapable fact that the protests and demonstrations are already happening under Trump’s watch, and in some cases because of him.”
Mainstream media coverage leaves a lot unsaid. As it covers Trump’s campaign propaganda—disguised as daily briefings—TNR has been delivering the real story: “In recent weeks, Trump abandoned any pretense that he possessed either a second-term policy agenda or a positive vision for the country’s future. Instead, he’s pinned his electoral hopes on demonizing Joe Biden and Democratic elected officials,” Ford reports.
