Donald Trump Is Gaslighting America | Communications Major | Scoop.it

Here is the "scorched-earth" op-ed from Tenn Vogue by Lauren Duca. Pay attention girls (and boys... and everyone else) to Trump's systematic attempts to destabilize the truth and weaken the foundation of American freedom.

Inside Donald Trump’s 3,000 Bizarre Domains | Communications Major | Scoop.it

VIDEO: Donald Trump Defends Himself on Twitter After Brian Williams Burn on NBC | Communications Major | Scoop.it

In case you missed right-wing Twitter rants by Donald Trump, you can stop before driving "well past the last exit to relevance" and read them here. The Donald, as the world's greatest combover is still called, was about to end his latest "15 minutes" of fame, until NBC anchor Brian Williams came along and gave him another 41 seconds. This stopped Trump from tweeting about the Obama reelection as the end of the world and diverted him (for the time being) into tweeting about Brian Williams' TV ratings.
