Recently the orange buffoon rolled out his latest strategy to create fake news by scrubbing portions of articles he doesn't like. This blatant form of media manipulation is what we've come to expect from the twice-impeached former president.

It's nothing new that Trump loves to post right-wing propaganda articles about himself, but this new spin in his never-ending siege against our freedoms, is disgusting.

Now Trump is taking mainstream articles that have a more balanced approach onto his timeline: screenshot them and remove unfavorable content.

For example, a recent Newsweek article - "Donald Trump Poised to Be First Republican to Win Popular vote in 20 Years" - was reposted on Truth Social and lines of texts (even paragraphs) were removed from the original article.

One of the missing paragraphs contained comments by University of Surrey professor Dr. Mark Shanahan who said Trump's goal to win the "popular vote" is a "pipe dream." 

He went on to say it is "unlikely" for Trump to create "an alliance of young voters, women and minorities" in order to secure a popular vote win."

I'm no lawyer but it seems like Newsweek could go after Trump for willfully changing and removing content. It does have a copywrite. 

However, it might not be worth spending millions to call Trump to account. He just keeps getting away with things that no one else in this country could do without consequences.

As a matter of fact, Trump has based his entire life and career on lies, with very few repercussions. 

That might change this year with four criminal trials adding up to 91 felony charges. But these are strange and dangerous days for our democracy where a cult has co-opted the Republican party.

As it stands, I don't think there's any hope that Trump minions will ever leave their alternate universe, so that leaves it up to the rest of us to protect our freedoms from the far-right propaganda machine.
