It’s a movie we’d seen over and over again during the first Trump administration, and now the sequel nobody asked for continues in Trump 2.0: the false narrative.

Here’s how it works. Trump is accused of something. Evidence is scant, ambiguous or nonexistent, so a narrative is built using “experts” to back the narrative, which includes Democratic lawmakers posing as such. But instead of having a come-to-Jesus moment, legacy media just continues down this destructive path years later in Trump’s second term.
