This is propaganda because
This post is propaganda because the 2020 election was in fact not rigged, and Trump is posting fake news to a mass audience. He is utilizing ethos to sway an audience. He is targeting voters from the 2020 election. He has credibility because he was the President of the United States for 4 years, so the country had a sense of trust in him. Since he is considered credible to some, they may believe him when they see that the election was rigged, and all of these hidden ballots were found, when this is not true. He is attacking opponents by claiming fraud against a certain group, but that really did not happen.
