Just a few weeks apart. Trump’s new dystopian campaign strategy is ripped directly from the deranged commentary of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and his other media allies. 
1. Trump is malleable and takes advice from the TV.
2. For weeks, Fox has been bombarding him with footage (often old) of urban violence and crime and demanding action.
3. Now federal agents are deployed against the wishes of local governments, unlawfully rounding people up.

The president is an authoritarian by nature; the people on TV he trusts most are begging him to do authoritarian things; and federal agencies have become compliant to his will.
This is what happens when Tucker Carlson is the one dictating political strategy and federal policy. It's terrifying and disastrous. But it's not complicated. mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson…
