The 'tactic' of the #dictators
the 'vade Mecum' adopted by #Trump:

-Take away everything from the population
freedom, security, prosperity, hope
-Keep the population frightened with hypotheses of wars
-Isolates the nation cutting International diplomatic relation or
cooperation.

When everyone is desperate
grant crumbs (the 'Great Leader' is 'generous')
but
only to those who are prepared to prise the #Dictator
or to 'bend' (silence is 'bending')

This is what Trump is doing to #Americans.
