And what you just said is hyperbole Jeordam Send a noteboard - 11/01/2019 06:01:23 PM

You say he "Lies about everything."

So it's a lie when he says that he loves his children?
It's a lie when he says he's the President of the United States?
It's a lie when he says he wants a boarder wall?

I fully understand what you meant, but I'm wondering if you can tell the difference between showmanship and what he thinks he can actually pull off. A prime example would be the "Make Mexico pay for that wall!" From it's face value, many took it to mean those exact words. We all knew that the possibility of him actually pulling it off was somewhere between "Super Unlikely" to "Very Super Unlikely". I'd say even he knows that would be impossible. Instead, he said it to the exact right crowd, worked his supporters into a frenzy....and ultimately won the election.

When he said it, I saw showmanship....not policy.
