Three-Layer Analysis

There are at least three core layers to this Disinfolklore by the five-times bankrupted Druidey Don. First, the event Druidey Don recounts almost certainly never happened. Second, in recounting this fable at a rally Druidey Don is using a folksy mode of story-telling (Disinfolklore) to manipulate Moods, Attitudes, Intentions and Motivations of the consumers of the tale in very strategic ways. The third layer is how, carelessly, CNN reports as a fact what Druidey Don said happened — an almost certainly mythical conversation with a president of a big country is laundered through the medium of CNN’s reputation into established fact; established lore. We know the event that Druidey Don describes is probably mythological because Druidey Don was caught lying (translation: speaking Disinfolklore) over 23,000 times during his first presidency.
