“IF YOU COUNT THE LEGAL VOTES, I EASILY WIN THE ELECTION! IF YOU COUNT THE ILLEGAL AND LATE VOTES, THEY CAN STEAL THE ELECTION FROM US!” he said. Officials are currently counting legal ballots and there is no evidence of any kind of widespread or decision-altering fraud.
The above bold sentence is tweeted by Donald Trump, the President of the USA. In Singapore, anyone posting such a tweet stands a possibility of being arrested for spreading fake news, misinformation and inciting riots. Officials of the presidential election have repeated many times that there is no fraud and Trump's allegation is baseless, as many times as Trump had been tweeting.
And the danger of trump's allegation is that his mindless and unthinking supporters could be agitated to revolt or turn aggressive as many of them are preparing for apocalyse, with weapons and ammunition ready for a civil war. This is how dangerous Trump's tweet is. Trump could have been 'pofma' in Singapore for inciting violence using baseless and reckless allegations. All the main media refused to believe him and calling him a dangerous and reckless liar.
For the last few weeks, Trump has been displaying the most ugly side of the American culture and behaviour, a fine examples of cheating, lying, fabricating fake news and insisting that they are truths. This is exactly what American propaganda is all about and on the international scene Pompeo has been doing the same, to badmouth China, to smear and demonise China with his own slate of lies, fake news and wild allegations without any ounce of proof. Just make wild allegations as loud and as often as possible and expect the world to believe in his lies.
Trump and Pompeo are not unique specimens of the notorious and evil Americans. They are the norms, as can be seen by all the previous administrations, presidents and foreign secretaries. It is all about spreading lies and making false and wild allegations against nations without having to show proof, like what Trump and Pompeo are doing.
It is a rude lesson of what American culture and bad behaviour are all about, a nation of liars and cheats, and very dangerous for the rest of the world and also for Americans. Trump could start a civil war with his false allegations. Pompeo could start a world war with his equally false allegations. The world must take note of these and not to take these likely as so called American Exceptionalism, that they can lie, cheat and steal and do anything they want without having to be responsible for their criminal actions.
Fox News also cannot stand Trump's lies.
New York (CNN Business)Top personalities at Fox News on Wednesday baselessly called into question the legitimacy of the presidential election, parroting the dangerous rhetoric from President Donald Trump aimed at portraying the contest as rigged.
