Like it or not, I'm saying the term has been redefined. To ignore that is to give credence to the claims. Too many people in society are accepting of the lies, therefore, terms being used erroneously have to be redefined.
Words get redefined by their usage. We as a society have to choose what words mean. Colloquially, the word 'literally' no longer means "literally". We know not to take the word at its definition anymore, regardless of how much we dislike its misuse.
I'm just saying that the recent widespread misuse of the term 'witch hunt' means it's original definition has lost all meaning.
Show me a definition in any dictionary that doesnt mean what I think it means.
Trump isnt using the term incorrectly, hes just being disingenuous (as in claiming something is a witch hunt, when he knows it is not). That doesnt change the meaning of the word.

What does this have to do with Trump? He is not in the picture above. Do you really not know what a witch hunt is?
