Trump compares Mueller “gang” to Joseph McCarthy. Not only is weaponizing “McCarthyism” a well-worn Russian propaganda trope. But Trump is literally a protege of Roy Cohn, McCarthy & mobster lawyer.
Irony’s not dead; Trump just assumes enough Americans are ignorant & gullible.

Trump digs deeper into Putin's playbook. McCarthyism is a Russian propaganda trope used to deflect/mask Kremlin bad acts. Russian media used it against Hillary & Democrats for even suggesting Russia was involved in election hacks. I wrote about it in 2016. stopfake.org/en/russian-pro…
I wrote about Trump using Putin's propaganda playbook to disarm & manipulate Americans in 2016. Disinformation, conspiracy theories, gaslighting, whataboutism, fake news. All well-worn Kremlin tactics—Now coming from the WH, full of Putin puppets & stooges euromaidanpress.com/2016/10/27/989…
Russia's been in the forefront of a crusade to hijack truth media with propaganda—key to Kremlin efforts to delegitimize democracy & validate authoritarianism. Recall 2016 RT "End of Journalism" conference w/ Assange, propagandists #Giuliani #TruthIsTruth
Putin succeeds by throwing bombs and money into US/democracy's cracks & crackpots. Kremlin propagandists declared mainstream journalism—truth—"dead" at RT media forum in June 2016. The same week Russia's agents were about to attend the Trump Tower meeting.
Putin ramped up propaganda after Ukraine ousted its corrupt prez. Worried democracy spreading to Russia, P invaded, seized Crimea & wages war w/spies, money & propagandists to upend democracies & their punishing sanctions.
Giuliani's truth trainwreck aids Putin more than Trump.

Team Trump use dictator Putin's propaganda playbook to dupe the ignorant & gullible. (Deplorables already on board.)
Remember, before Giuliani's "truth isn't truth" whopper, Trump said: "What you’re seeing and what you're reading is not what’s happening."
