"Weaponize distrust" is using distrust as a weapon. Once all the investigations are over and if Trump is not vindicated he will be saying it's the fake press and the mindless will nod and follow no matter the amount of PROOF or FACTS (as opposed to alternate facts.) If you say something often enough, it must be true. There is a reason why North Korea only has one station for the people to turn to. They have no idea what the truth is- only the "truth" their leader tells them.
