Why did Putin go so hard for Trump in 2016?
From his hatred of Hillary, to his funding a massive sabotage campaign for the 2016 election, Putin did everything possible to put Trump in office. Not because he thought Trump was brilliant, as Trump believes, but because he considers him to be colorful, aka, a clown.
What is the point of Fake News? What is it actually designed to do? And who is behind it (spoiler alert: who is Trump deferential and meek around)?
How does a crazy story about Hillary Clinton, Comet Ping Pong Pizza, and a pedophile ring spread like wildfire that results in gunfire and chaos?
By successfully rebranding Fake News from combatting misinformation to smearing any news that he doesn't like, Trump destroys the ability of most Americans to separate fact from fiction.
Trump's rivals and critics finally get a chance to respond to Trump's endless taunts and insults face-to-face. Can anybody finally land a counterpunch or does Teflon Don slip away yet again?

Diving into the First Big Lie reveals that the Build the Wall details never made practical sense but were catnip to his first MAGA converts - Americans who hate and fear immigrants.
Trump's first big lie was a whopper. He was going to build a magical wall along the nearly 2,000 mile USA/Mexico border and Mexico was going to pay for it.
But there was a method to his madness. In this episode, we start to unpack how Build The Wall went from a batshit crazy idea to the centerpiece of Trump's push to become leader of the free world.
How can we make sure that our lie is believed? Let's explore the two essential ingredients Trump uses to convince millions of people that crazy bullshit is actually true.
A persuasive message goes negative via intent and can hurt and destroy people. We explore how intent impacts darkside messages by unpacking the Balloon Boy Hoax and the the current Trojan horse malinformation campaign Trump is orchestrating to undermine the Judiciary so he can seize total power.
