Trump knows the conspiracy theory about Ukraine & the DNC server is fake. He made clear he knew Russia hacked the election when he told Putin's men in the Oval Offc he was NOT concerned they interfered. Judging by the reception & secret info he gave them, he was quite grateful.
Tom Bossert may think Trump believes his own propaganda. I don't. I think Trump believes he gets away w lies when the media repeat them. That's always worked for him. I think he keeps pushing the Ukraine conspiracy theory to take the heat off Russia, to please Putin. #UkraineGate
Trump & his propagandists lie purposely. They don't care if the claims are clearly false, even crazy. All that matters is that we keep repeating the lies. Even fact-checking lies has an impact. Some will doubt, be confused about what's true. That's the point. As @Kasparov63 says.
@Kasparov63 Trump's using Putin's disinformation playbook, esp useful for his #UkraineGate crisis. Conspiracy theories & wild claims are a staple of Russian propaganda. They flood the zone to sow doubt & erode truth. Watch how Russia used it about MH17⤵️ (& buckle up)
