We are not yet at the acme of the Trumpian disinformation campaign or that 'October Surprise'
Stuff is happening and it isn’t simply that Trump is trying to “win” in the worst way. Trump tells us that Biden is weak and yet Biden is more powerful than God. Because Jerry Falwell Jr’s excuse is one we all want to use someday: ‘She Was Pregnant’ and I Couldn’t Get My Pants Zipped”
We’re only seeing the tip of a Trumpian disinformation attack against American voters by using our own data against us. Constant photoshopping of Biden only makes Trump propaganda even more false.

Trump's mail-in voting falsehoods are part of a wide campaign to discredit the election

But aside from the usual gaggle of Fox News stars and conservative pundits, the Trump campaign included some eyebrow-raising names like Today show host Hoda Kotb and respected broadcast journalists like CBS News reporters Norah O’Donnell and Major Garrett, Univision’s Ambrosio Hernandez, Bloomberg’s Kevin Cirilli, and ABC News’ Tom Llamas and World News Tonight anchor David Muir.
O’Donnell, in particular, is already likely to moderate a debate should her network be tapped to host one. Same goes for Muir, who received mixed reviews for his May interview with Trump, but is considered the face of ABC News as his nightly news broadcast continues to lead in the ratings.
