Abraham Lincoln said, “You can’t keep a catalog of your lies,” and other people have said that that’s the problem with being a liar, is that you have to remember all the lies. Donald Trump not only doesn’t remember his lies, he makes up new ones every day, like the rest of us breathe. It’s that natural to him. Trump was on Joe Rogan’s podcast a few days ago and he did waffle on whether he won the election or not. First he said, “I lost by a tiny…” then he caught himself and said, “I won.” Rogan was laughing in his face at this point so I think that Trump made the correct move by just moving on. Here’s another situation where the truth may have slipped out.
Here’s trump admitting to Joe Rogan that he’s paying for fake polls to show that he’s ahead. Also admitting to an incredibly low sample rate in these bogus polls. Everything about trump is staged and fake except the criminality, the treason, and the hate. pic.twitter.com/B8oIdpugd0

What’s that you say? isn’t Trump always the one to brag about how he’s “leading by a lot” “in all the polls?” And I guarantee you Mother Tucker Carlson went on record on Wednesday saying that Trump was “leading in all seven swing states.” So I’m not sure what this tangential brush with reality is about. Not one bit.
Trump has been manipulating polls from the very first. When he began to debate Hillary a slew of non scientific polls suddenly sprang up saying that Trump had emphatically won such and such a debate. This makes perfect sense. He’s a showman. Trump senses the show aspects of any given thing. And yes, politics has always contained a certain amount of showmanship. Always will. But pre-Trump, there was no candidate that was a showman-only candidate.
That’s what Trump is. Form only. Zero substance. What I would love to know more about is the pricing, however. $500,000 to put together a poll of 250 people? Nice work if you can get it.
Cut below the surface of Trump and there’s just more surface.
Just a shell over a miasma of meaninglessness.
I’ve been called by national pollsters 3 times in my adult life. A couple were straightforward questions and the third was vague but I had to give a yes or no answer. I told them I wouldn’t participate until the questions made sense and hung up. I no longer have a landline so I guess I won’t be called again.
How did rogan manage to listen to 3 hours of unvarnished crap? I don’t think much of the guy but his fortitude in this area is impressive. I couldn’t do three minutes with the ocher ass-wipe.
Answer: he makes a lot of money doing it.
