If it walks like a duck, talks like a monkey, and looks like a squirrel, it must be a Republican talking point. 

Donald Trump loves producing fake events to pretend that he has growing union support, Black support, and support from New Yorkers. His team choreographs these events to feed the media with false narratives about the number and diversity of Trump’s supporters. He pays people to fill out the crowds. They bring pre-printed signs and the media laps it up.
