“these scum, this Democrat scum”
The word 'scum' is maximally charged language for describing political opponents where any substantive alternative exists.
“So it's compared to that fog of lies, it's in that fog of lies that Trump's blithering, loudmouth, bullying, name calling sounds like telling it like it is.”
Frames the entire opposing political record as a 'fog of lies' to make Trump's behavior appear by contrast as honesty, directing interpretation through a maximally one-sided lens.
“This will teach Trump to call us gangsters, said one protester, shooting pepper spray into a child's face.”
Fabricated protester voice leverages moral outrage and disgust (pepper spray into a child's face) to persuade the audience that the protest movement is violent and illegitimate.
