Since squealer was very clever and intelligent he used his intelligence to twist the words around to make the other animals believe that it was necessary for the pigs to drink the milk.

Squealer represents the media. Squealer continually changes his story in order to get the animals to believe what Napoleon wants them to believe. Every time the animals think that things are not right, Squealer comes to tell them a new story that explains how everything is ok. For example, when the animals see the pigs breaking the "No Animal Shall Sleep in a Bed" commandment, Squealer alters the story slightly to "No Animal Shall Sleep in a bed with sheets" making the pigs in compliance with the rules of Animal Farm.

The pigs got the milk and apples because squealer said that since they were in charge they should get the food which gave them "brain power".
The other animals allowed the pigs to have the rights to the cows milk because they were the smartest and therefore, deserved the cows milk more than any of the other animals. Or at least that is what the pigs convinced them to think.
Squealer uses tactics instead of manipulation when he speaks to the animals in "Animal Farm" to justify the actions of the pigs and maintain their power by persuading the other animals that the pigs' decisions are for the greater good of the farm. By using tactics like logic and rhetoric, Squealer is able to present the pigs as capable leaders and deceive the other animals into believing their lies.
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Squealer uses trickery in several instances, but one notable episode is when he manipulates the truth about the pigs' consumption of the farm's resources. After the pigs begin to drink alcohol and engage in activities that contradict the original commandments of Animalism, Squealer uses propaganda to convince the other animals that these actions are for their benefit and that the farm is better off under the pigs’ leadership. He twists the narrative to maintain control and suppress dissent.
The pigs didn't work, not manual labor anyway. The pigs were the "thinkers" of the farm. That is how they justified getting to eat the apples and milk which Squealer said was brain food.
In Chapter 6 of "Animal Farm," Squealer plays a crucial role as the chief propagandist for the pigs. He manipulates language and information to control the other animals' perceptions, justifying the pigs' actions and decisions, such as the construction of the windmill and the trade with humans. Squealer's persuasive speeches serve to maintain the pigs' authority and ensure that the other animals remain loyal and confused about the true nature of their circumstances. His role highlights the themes of propaganda and the distortion of truth in the pursuit of power.
Squealer represents the propaganda newspaper Pravda rather than a person the way the other pigs in the novel do. The statement that Squealer can turn black into white was intended to refer to Pravda's ability to turn lies into truth. Squealer also carries the messages from Napoleon to the other pigs who simply take what Squealer says for gospel. In other words, Squealer is a method of communication from the top to the bottom with the ability to put the proper spin on the information. That was Pravda.
Squealer quells the rumor that Boxer was betrayed by spreading propaganda and manipulating the truth. He insists that Boxer is being taken to a veterinarian for treatment, emphasizing the care the pigs are providing. Squealer also appeals to the animals' loyalty and trust in the leadership, claiming that the van carrying Boxer is merely misbranded. Through these tactics, he reinforces the idea that the pigs are acting in the best interest of all animals, effectively silencing dissent.
