This television clip connects to 1984 as the government shames (or kills in the novel) those who think the government is "ungood." In 1984, the Thought Police—thinkpol—search for "ungoodthinkers," but now people investigate private matters themselves. However, the FBI is the Investigation Bureau for the government, yet Trump (an Inner Party leader) criticizes its investigations. An example of this situation is O'Brien accusing the "thinkpol" of "thoughtcrime." Moreover, this situation is complex as both O'Brien and the "thinkpol" are committing "thoughtcrime." The question is: who disappears—O'Brien or the "thinkpol?" Nevertheless, Trump's opinion on the Russia investigation is the last three words of INGSOC's slogans: "Ignorance is Strength."
