WASHINGTON — Watching Fox News ahead of Wednesday’s impeachment vote, President Donald Trump gave a Twitter callout to one of his most combative allies in the House.
The Wednesday morning post was just the latest example of Trump, who rails against the “Fake News,” doing his own kind of editing of comments made by top administration officials and other prominent allies. “Ambassador Sondland’s testimony stated that President Trump said the Ukraine President should just do the right thing ,” Trump wrote.Story continuesAnother time in November, Trump heard Jason Meister, an adviser to his campaign, tick off a list of his accomplishments on Fox News. “He’s done so many great things,” Trump wrote on Twitter, purporting to quote Meister. “He’s devastated ISIS & killed AlBaghdadi, building Wall.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian at New York University who studies authoritarianism and propaganda, called the tactic a “power play.” McConnell later denied making the comment, saying at a news conference that he had “not had any conversations on that subject” with Trump.
