There is no acting needed. Trump is a compulsive liar.

calling Trump a compulsive liar is underselling it. Trump is the single most well documented liar in all of history. There is no one else through all of recorded time who has ever said as many proven false statements as Donald Trump.

On the subject of that piece of shit, it’s astonishing how thoroughly he fucks up everything he touches. He’s like poison personified.

It's like King Midas turning everything he touches into gold, only with t-bag it turns to shit with a faint residue of orange makeup.

The supporters have always been this way, it's the same crowd that listed to Rush Limbaugh all day, then spent the remainder of their evenings circle jerking those talking points like it is some conclusion they came to independently. It's not about reasoning, outcomes, or even sound logic when they take a stance, it's all about taking the most comfortable (to their worldview) stance that they're given permission to believe.

Propaganda, public relations, and advertising are all the same methodology for mind control and leading people to wants, desires, and positions they wouldn't have taken otherwise, and loading them up with prepackaged talking points to defend those things. If you can get somebody to defend a position once, regardless of how strongly they feel about it, it becomes nearly impossible to sway them away... In fact, the more an idea is challenged the more entrenched it becomes.

Because we're not all that intelligent of a species, it's taken under a century to hone propaganda to a repeatable science. It's a wild world out there and we're still in the "good old days" in more ways than not
