President Donald Trump moved to make the United States even more like an authoritarian country on Monday by suggesting the creation of a state-run media network to preach his propaganda to the world.
In yet another temper tantrum about CNN, Trump complained that the network has “little competition” outside of America even though BBC also broadcasts internationally. Trump then whined that CNN doesn’t cover him fairly and suggested a government news network that would spread his propaganda worldwide:
While CNN doesn’t do great in the United States based on ratings, outside of the U.S. they have very little competition. Throughout the world, CNN has a powerful voice portraying the United States in an unfair….

….and false way. Something has to be done, including the possibility of the United States starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT!

Basically, Trump is calling for an international version of North Korean or Russian state-run propaganda, which is what dictators do to control information. Trump already has Fox News for that in the United States, but Fox News is barred from the airwaves in many nation because it constantly misleads and lies.
Apparently, Fox News isn’t enough for Trump anymore. He wants to brainwash the entire globe with his lies.
Twitter smothered him with ridicule:
CNN holds you accountable- this is why you hate them – they report your own words – problem is you lie so much you forget what you have lied about!

Today on “Broadcast America” benevolent leader Trump shot 18 under par at golf. During the game the dear leader still found the time to solve world hunger, spread global peace and rake under some trees !! Now the weather…Sunshine, milk and honey across America !!!

CNN International isn’t a network of the state like Fox News. You do know what an independent media means? Try watching BBC International or Sky News. The facts about you doesn’t change!!

Your own state run “news” similar to Pravda and other Russian state run news organizations as well as the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Korea’s state news agency of North Korea to give your version of the news. The emergence of propaganda in America.

Once again, Trump embarrassed himself and made America look like a laughingstock. State-run propaganda is not what this country does, nor should we. Taxpayers should not be forced to fund what would amount to Trump’s international propaganda network. Trump is just jealous of CNN’s success and he is furious that they tell the truth about him instead of repeating his lies. Trump proved that he seriously wants to be dictator and Americans must resist him.
