Maybe Trump isn’t ‘lying’

There is just something not right about this. They tried the "he didn't win the vote", they tried to get the electoral college thing, they tried the "no one go to inauguration", the media publishes nothing but negative articles that are slanted in such a way as to protray him as a buffon, loon or liar. Now, they are trying to tell the congress and cabinet to declare him "unfit". It seems no matter what, they are going to pursue this until a standard issue political hack that is predictable and defeatable is put in place. I would say so far he is not the most conventional president, nor has he ever seemed completely run of the mill stable, but he had the answers that pursuaded enough people he was talking their talk, and he has done as much as he can do with a slow motion republican congress, to do the things he wants to do done. Yet, I can't help seeing this actually coming to pass, as the establishment of both parties rallies to remove him.

    It seems he is taking action, as much as he can, he is hampered by a Republican party that needs 2 years to check in with all their special interests before they can either propose or vote on legislation, apparently...

    I agree with you and CBJ in suspecting President Trump is intentionally provocative, but it remains to be seen if he can translate that into action. Just getting people fired up in 25 different directions alone won't do it. He needs to take action while people are distracted.

    Repeatedly telling a lie about someone being a liar is a common propaganda technique.

    Judging by Trump's actions and the inability of his opponents to counter them, I favor the "social genius" theory.

    Actually he has it right. Trump is either a complete loon or a social genius who knows how to manipulate.

    My point exactly, and proved in the reference article, where they decry it at the same time they prove it is not unreal. Yet they will drive by the reality to head for the unreality they all need to exist....

    If true, he is excellent at it. You wither have to believe his twitter mess is intentional, or he is really unstable...I am not sure unstable people hang on as long as he has.

    The more these statist snowflakes complain about Trump the more convinced I am that he is on the right track.

    Trump has the left so scared they are wetting the bed. He is not resetting the table. He is flipping the table over.
    Who is John Galt? He might be our President.

    Coaldigger said something similar: "[President Trump] sets little brush fires to create smoke and get the press, Democrats, feminists, immigrants, etc. all fired up, thinking and talking about things like crowd size, walls and other things that he really doesn't care about at all." https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

    I similarly wondered if he does something similar with protectionism and borrowing money being a distraction or ploy. https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

    I have a similar thought to yours: Probably not, but possible.

    How about "strategic exaggeration" rather than "lying"? For example, the voter fraud investigation is likely to turn up many instances of non-citizens voting, given the lax voter registration procedures in many states. Even if it's not 3 million, the issue will remain on the front burner for some time, making it more difficult for the lefties to continue this practice in future elections.

    I am not very sure he's wrong.

    One thing I've learned...When the mainstream media tells you that something is "widely debunked" hold on to your hat.

    Just another liberal media biased opinion piece masquerading as news.
    They are throwing all the rubbish at the wall and hoping something will stick. They tried it to a lesser extent with Reagan, although the media still had some more easily embarrassed people as news anchors in that era, so there was less shrill wailing.
    The liberals who voted against Trump will read this rubbish, but those who supported him will see it for the vomit that it is. The weak left-moderate republicans will read it, too, but they are buffoons who will support Trump anyway if their so-called "leadership" supports Trump. If Trump's hired guns can bribe the GOP "moderate leadership" with promises of power they will back Trump.
    This liberal urination is unworthy of the Gulch.

    It's possible he is simply using what the progressives have been using for years. Distractions. Sift the medias attention to something unimportant so that important things, like reducing the size of government can be accomplished with less media spin. Maybe not, but possible.
