How to use manipulate in a sentence?

  1. Alex Stamos:

    The IRA has repeatedly used complex networks of inauthentic accounts to deceive and manipulate people who use Facebook, including before, during and after the 2016 U.S. presidential elections. It’s why we don’t want them on Facebook, we removed this latest set of Pages and accounts solely because they were controlled by the IRA — not based on the content.

  2. Kevin McAleenan:

    No child should be a pawn in a scheme to manipulate our immigration system.

  3. Sean Hendrickson:

    If it does work, his body locks up. I don't know how that helps, if you look at video and how close, she's right inside the open door, at the edge, and those probes won't spread far enough to achieve neuromuscular incapacitation and that's the goal. If you achieved it, he'd be locked up in that seat. It's hard to manipulate him. It's confusing, tactically, what the end goal was with the Taser.

  4. Max Stassi:

    He’s got six, seven, eight pitches, and he can change speed on all of them, it’s special what he can do and how he can manipulate it. ... You never know what you’re going to get. It’s the kitchen sink coming at you all the time.

  5. Imgard Schloegl:

    ...nobody has the right to manipulate anybody or to impress anybody with his stronger personality, not even for the other's imagined good, for nobody can know what that good is. This is courtesy rather than callousness, for the other's dignity is thus acknowledged, or the dignity of his grief is respected. If and when he is ready, the other will of himself reach out for consolation and feel free to ask for a hand to point out the way.
