After having a stroke, Portuguese Dictator António Salazar's handlers showed him manufactuted news clips to make him think he was still in power until he died. The Carnation Revolution happened a couple years later.
WATCH: We reviewed months of Fox News’ coverage and over 700 videos posted on social media by protesters, counterprotesters and others.
Here's how Fox News and the Trump administration provided a misleading picture of what was happening in Portland: https://propub.li/4a4TaE4

Trump is incapable of resisting charm, (male) charisma, and - most importantly - celebrity. He has an unquenchable desire to be near it, has been chasing it his whole life.
That's mostly it. Forget all the "He's a populist!" bullshit from both the centrist commentariat and the anti-liberal Left.

Here is a triangle of feral cats (they are related) that hang out around our house every day. Maybe because I sometimes toss lunch meat or other nibbles to them from the 1st floor (2nd in the U.S.) window.

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.

man, this is such a good point -- Mamdani might be the first happy, well-adjusted person Trump has seen in weeks
everyone's talking about how bright and charming zohran must be, which is true, but then you remember the spider-brained cryptkeepers trump's surrounded himself with since '15 and realize a single smile from mamdani must have hit like barbecue spare ribs down the gullet of a 12th century peasant.

I literally think Mamdani went “you know, there was actually a President so popular that people kept electing him more than two terms” and Trump was like no way tell me how he did it
Trump posts:
“It was a Great Honor meeting Zohran Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York City!”
He included multiple photos of Mamdani in front of the portrait of FDR that Mamdani spoke with Trump about during his visit.
