Does Donald Trump Truly Achieve Anything?

There has been much controversy surrounding the claims made by President Donald Trump regarding an agreement with Mexico. Many have questioned whether this was just another example of fake news and propaganda from the so-called 'Bullshit King of America.'

The Alleged Agreement

Recently, the Mexican government published a document that was supposed to contain evidence of an agreement. However, the document merely stated, 'let’s get together sometime and make an agreement.' This response from Mexico was met with a swift response from Trump, labeled as 'lying propaganda.'

Political Propaganda vs. Solid Action

Throughout his political career, Donald Trump has frequently resorted to using empty pieces of paper as a means to project an air of accomplishment. For instance, like Senator Joseph McCarthy, who famously waved a worthless piece of paper in the Senate, Trump waves a similar artifact that lacks any substantial meaning. McCarthy’s famous act was meant to incite fear and suspicion, much like Trump’s current tactics.

McCarthy had his list of commies in the State Department, Nixon had his secret plan to end the Vietnam War, and now, Trump thinks that waving a piece of paper will somehow accomplish something. It is clear that this is a strategy of pure propaganda, designed to convince supporters that he is making progress, even when there is none.

Propaganda Tactics through the Ages

The use of propaganda is not new to the political landscape, but it has certainly reached unprecedented levels with Trump’s presidency. Rule number 1 for dealing with Trump’s words is simple: do not believe a single word.

In the spirit of McCarthy’s theatrics and Nixon’s smoke-and-mirrors tactics, Trump’s supporters may continue to be convinced that a secret agreement exists, but the reality is that it is nothing more than a strategic maneuver.

Expecting More Propaganda

Mexico has stated that there will be no agreement, and no crisis. This absence of an actual agreement is just another example of Trump’s empty promises. There is no secret agreement; Trump simply won’t or can’t provide any details because it doesn’t exist.

Similarly, other supposed 'secrets' such as tax returns, Melania’s citizenship papers, and evidence of President Obama’s activities have all proven to be nothing more than empty promises. The same can be said for Trump’s claims about Mexico paying for the wall. These claims, much like the pieces of paper he waves, are meant to create the illusion of action and progress.

The key takeaway is that when it comes to Donald Trump, you should always be skeptical. The empty propaganda and fake news continue to serve as a means to distract from the lack of actual policy and accomplishment in his presidency.
