The Disorientation Machine
January 30, 2018 at 8:03 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Mike Allen reports that President Trump “has already made up his mind” to release the secret House memo written by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA), “which he sees as vindication, despite Justice Department resistance. Trump believes it will solidify in the public’s mind that there’s a Deep State out to get him.”
“Couple that fact with some genuinely troubling text messages between FBI agents, and the Fox News chorus warning of a Deep State coup, and you have the makings of a disorientation machine.”
“This strategy is working better than you think. Trump portrayed Hillary Clinton as an enemy of the state, and she lost. He turned the media into an enemy of the state, if you looks at polls of Republicans. And, perhaps most alarming of all, he’s trying to make the FBI look like an enemy of the state.”
