"No Collusion No Collusion No Collusion" Where did Trump get the idea to repeat lies over and over?

Joseph Goebbels..:If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth." So, let's pass this idea around to our friends and everyone. Trump's idea to repeat a lie over and over like "No Collusion", "No Collusion" "No Collusion".. is an idea that he got from Nazi Propaganda leader Joeseph Goebbels. Trump is hoping that some of his minions will believe it, simply because he says it enough. Yes, over and over and over. That is where this idea came from. Tell everyone everywhere. Trump uses an idea from Hitler's propaganda leader, Joseph Goebbles. See if that one gets around.. This could make him very mad. Good! He got found out again...

They're Goebbels' dream. A basket of deplorable morons who will believe anything a right wing hack tells them. If this was 1930s Berlin, they'd be burning books at Brandenburg Gate rallies and wait hauling til they drop. This crap Trump does is entirely for their benefit.

Yes, you have hit the jackpot! Total truth with your entire post..If I could I would k and r your post. Yes, Goebbels would love them. No doubt Trump uses them the way Hitler used his believers.

Trumpy's declaration can't keep working because he's losing the stimulating effect that his phrase once had. After a while, "No Collusion" loses its meaning. So, to the bored consumer, it's not a lie, and it's not the truth. It's meaningless. This is what Trumpy risks by beating the phrase into every tweet. What's especially problematic is that Trumpy can't stop the investigations and can't stop the reporting and the G.J. leaks. He can't stop the non-Fox news. He can't stop the common sense. His "No Collusion" drumbeat becomes background noise. When critics call him a one-trick pony, this is the evidence. He can't say anything else because he can't refute the allegations with anything substantial. He's cooked. The evidence will continue to come to light. More and more of it will drown out the Trumpies. Guiliani and those guarding Trumpy have long said that they're fighting a PR war, not a legal one. The PR campaign can work in the short run, but this show is going on for longer than the PR can be effectively sustained. Trumpy's Administration wanted the Mueller probe to end early because their PR campaign was most effective early on. They knew that the longer Mueller works, the less effective their defenses will become. Now it's happening and they're getting weaker by the day.

So, if the collusion trick were true, and it was close to being a lie,..then those accused would not plead guilty.But those that colluded, did plead guilty....They did in fact talk to Russians about this crap. They have admitted this and are going to jail.

also means "conspiracy." He thinks he can convince the public that "collusion" is not a crime - but in fact the crime is at the very least conspiracy and at most, treason.
