Yesterday’s rambling Rose Garden rant is here, and CNN’s fact check is here. Just in case you want to check out one of Trump’s speeches. It incorporates a lot of his favorites, such as “Pelosi dancing in Chinatown”. I gave up when it got to the Q&A.
It’s quite the drone-fest, isn’t it? It’s his signature style – if you say everything in the same pitch, then it becomes harder to recognize a lie just by the quaver in the voice or the body language. He’s built some fake reasoning to support some of his contentions, but others he just flings out there.
It’s not hard to see why some people get taken in by it. It’s sneaky, mixing patriotic language with lies, mischaracterizations, and a short-sighted focus on money (see his bit on the Paris Climate Accords).
If you haven’t done it, it’s an interesting experience.
