    I haven’t seen anyone talk about this and I think it needs to be considered. When considering this clip, consider how trumps supporters will see it.

    What we know about Trump supporters:

    • trumps supporters have turned off their critical thinking skills
    • Many of them have below an 8th grade reading level
    • They always have Fox News or another right wing news source turned on - they are addicted to it
    • They already like and trust Trump, and believe him to be some kind of mastermind
    • They are not a majority, but there is a concerning amount of them

    That means what they will get from this clip is:

    • Canada should have already belonged to the US
    • The US has a right to Canada
    • Because trump called Canadians “nasty”, there is a reason to invade Canada, and Canadians deserve it
    • Canada has a lot of resources that the US can use.

    To most people, Trump sounds like an imbecile, but to his supporters, he sounds like he knows what he’s talking about, I personally think he feeds them reasons to be upset without actually making any logical arguments. We all can see that but his supporters can’t. What I’m trying to get at is MAGA’s public opinions about Canada will change because of this interview. This isn’t just bumbling Trump giving a bizarre interview, it’s intentional propaganda to change his viewers’ allegiances.
