Let's pretend the propagandists are right & Trump didn't go to Aisne-Marne because of dangerous weather.

Ok, the first 2 pargaphs of the Atlantic story are now cut. (Not because theyre not true, because lets rob them of their talking points.) What remains? Let's begin../1
...he didnt know who the good guys were in WWI, didn't understand why we'd support the allies (as opposed to his policy, which is to support the enemy).

Next paragraph. He said this publicly.../2
...next paragraph, he did this publicly...
...next paragraph - we saw the results of this publicly, and two national veterans groups condemned Trump's behavior until he reversed (temporarily) his pettiness. He has proven this point again today...
...next paragraph. We know the first part of the sentence is true because his public statements reflect that. Neither he nor his propagandists have denied anything in the rest of the paragraph...
...next. A public statement at the end of the sentence, the first part of the paragraph confirmed by Fox News....
...next. Again, neither Trump nor his propagandists have denied this. They know Kelly is out there and could say it publicly if Trump disputes this. Kelly's silence is telling....
...next paragraph: Fox News confirmed the first part, and added in that Trump considered people who served in Vietnam were "suckers." The rest of it? Mattis. Publicly....
...next: His belief that smart people don't join the military. Also confirmed by Fox. No one is disputing it...
...next. Points out Trump's lies when he tries to seem dedicated to the military. And his disdain for service, once again, confirmed by Fox (by the way, when I say Fox, I am picking it because it is a propaganda network, so its confirmation carries the most weight)...
...finally, his statement that no one wants to see disabled vets. Confirmed by Fox...
...now, why did i do this? It shows how propaganda works. They find a way to attack ONE point, and persuade people that all of it is untrue because their audience hasn't read it.

So if you haven't yet, read this whole great, great article.
