Trump has a long history of doctoring crowd photos, starting with his own inauguration. He was furious that his inaugural crowd was a fraction of the size of President Obamaโs. He ordered his people to artificially increase crowd size in official photos.

Agreed. The arrival of Rupert Murdoch and his Fox Corp. in the U.S. in 1996, preceded by the Reagan administrationโs repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, marked the real beginning of a flood of distortion & disinformation on U.S. airwaves by right-wing organizations. Even a billion

the jury respects the judge for conducting the trial fairly and appreciates that he cares about their wellbeing. Trump is a fool for ignoring the jury.
