A few days ago, President Trump ordered the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. Immediately afterwards, Trump and Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo hit the airways in lock-step talking points> Both men were adamant about the fact that Soleimani was posing an 'imminent' threat to Americans and American interests. Upon pressure from the media to further explain the 'imminent threat,' Pompeo, a few days later states, "It's irrelevant to know the imminent threat."
This attitude succinctly defines the governing philosophy of President Trump's administration. Consider: (1) "Alternative facts" was a phrase used by White House counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway on January 22, 2017. This was an attempt to brainwash. Put another way, 'we will tell you what to believe and offer our own facts to support the beliefs. (2) Then there has been Trump's on-going overuse of the term, "Fake News" in his effort to marginalize America's free press. This constant attack on a democracy's Fourth Estate is a characteristic of a dictating bully. (3) Trump on July 25, 2018 said, "What you are seeing and what you're hearing is not really what's happening."
(4) It's been 300 days since the White House has held a 'Press Conference' where the news media could ask questions and thus inform a free public. (Notice: Public, you're losing your freedom of information daily under this administration. It takes an ignorant and angry population to accept such insanity. America qualifies in both categories.
America, under the direction of its President is now assassinating people and telling the world, 'We have our reasons and those reasons are irrelevant to those questioning our reasoning. Americans, Welcome to the farm,' i.e., 'Animal Farm.'
