My undergraduate degree is in political science and sociology, Burt. I have a reasonable grasp of rhetoric.

In this case, the journalist presented things that Trump has verifiably said or done and asked why voters would - on the basis of him having said and done those things - trust him to be their president.

So again, when you said:

...which part of the question from the journalist represented corporate propaganda?

lol that's embarassing for you then. Jesus, man! What are they teaching you down there?

Do you think propaganda is just when you tell lies?

Loaded questions? Leading questions? Half truths? Vague allusions? Tone? Any of this ringing a bell?

Attacking me when I asked a simple question only confirms my perception of you, Burt.

Oh what am I saying, I'm sure it would have had the same energy.

how about insisting that the central park 5 were guilty even after another guy confessed to the crimes

how about not renting to african american people, being sued and then forced to rent to african americans?

is that racists enough?

Which is funny because it implies there is real value in the skin color of candidate and that a debate over that is more important than a policy debate. It's literally the red team's weakest area and exactly what the blue team wants, for Trump to walk into a situation where an 80 year old generational-wealth-rich white guy tries to discus the nuances of race in America.
