It is amazing the lengths people will go to defend a person (Donald Trump in this case ) that lies to their face .. not even creative lies !!! Just garden variety ones that can easily be dis proven
This explains how so many of these conversations go off the rails.
"leftists think" or "the left says" or ... Randomly assigning beliefs or stances based on ---- I don't know what it is based on
Tell me, when was the last time you read me write, " poster x thinks this" or "poster y thinks that"
I dont.
Only a few here do
A long con, indeed. And a tactic that Trump continues to use. In the past few days alone, the President has claimed that North Korea has already “agreed to denuclearization.” (It hasn’t). He has described his Mar-a-Lago resort as “the Southern White House.” (It’s a Trump enterprise, not a public building.) And he’s said that his poll numbers are the highest ever. (The latest Gallup survey puts his job approval at just thirty-eight per cent.) About the only difference, these days, is that when Trump has a self-serving whopper to spread around, he goes on Twitter and attaches his own name to it. In the age of @realDonaldTrump, there is no longer any need for John Barron.
“The joke was on me—and everyone else,” Greenberg writes.
“Trump’s fabrications provided the basis for a vastly inflated
wealth assessment for the Forbes 400 that would give him
cachet for decades as a triumphant businessman.”
