As a master propagandist and expert manipulator of the media and information environment, Donald Trump is very intentional with his strategic messaging.

Devoid of communal deliberation, people become easy marks for manipulators who play to base fears or shallow emotional appeals.

Discussions about him revolve around an idea of him as a manipulator or enigma.

It was clear very quickly that this man was a master manipulator but it wasn't until I spoke to him on the phone that I realised how skilled he was at the practice.

I think it wouldn’t be particularly satisfying to me to write a character who’s a cold manipulator, you know, because first of all, you don’t meet that many people who are purely just that.
