OILERMAN Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 https://www.alternet.org/2019/03/why-would-you-lie-about-that-trump-is-telling-donors-the-tim-apple-flub-is-fake-news-despite-video-evidence/ Republican donors present at the RNC fundraiser with President Donald Trump confessed that they don’t understand why the president would lie about flubbing Apple CEO Tim Cook’s name. During a fundraiser where Trump ranted about Democrats hating Jews and made jokes about blackface, the president also announced that he actually said “Tim Cook Apple.” The president explained he said the name really quickly and said “Cook” very quietly, so no one could hear it, Axios reported. The video shows a different story. Presumably, even if Trump had said “Cook,” his lips would have moved. They did not. Two donors at the event told Axios they didn’t understand why Trump would lie about something so ridiculous, particularly when it was captured on video. “Nobody cared, they said, and Tim Cook took it in good humor by changing his Twitter profile to Tim Apple,” Axios reported. “I just thought, why would you lie about that,” on donors told Axios. “It doesn’t even matter!” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 When you lie about these tiny little meaningless things, it’s expected that you would certainly lie to cover up the big things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said early on, the fool is a pathological liar. He can't help himself. He constantly lies. He lies when there is no need to lie. This particular lie just makes him look like a bigger dumass than the original gaff did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reo Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 He knows that if he repeats a lie long enough that some will believe him and if he lies enough about everything that a lot of the people that know he's lying will stop caring and stop calling him out for the small ones which in turn let's him get away with even more lying.

begooode Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 People do care because ridiculous and blatant lying on such trivial matters that take up a disproportionate amount of mindspace for the most powerful person in the world is disconcerting.

Starkiller Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 No one cares about Trump’s flub. It was funny but it was a momentary joke that should have been quickly forgotten. What we do care about is an obvious lie in trying to cover it up. And that will make it live forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legaltitan Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Oman is correct, but it is actually one step more than that. The lying, especially when it is easily proven as a lie, is the point. Whether he has made a case study of totalitarian states and dictators, or whether it just comes naturally to him, this is a common and basic tactic. The purpose is two-fold: (1) you know he's lying, he knows that you know he is lying, and you know that he knows, and basically he is saying "there is nothing you can or will do about it: and (2) to exhaust us from finding out what the truth is, and to undermine the idea of objective truth altogether, so that truth is defined as "that which comes from the state." This is totalitarianism 101, and Trump is very disciplined at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Correct and Correct. History will judge the 2016 electorate. I pray this is not the ending of something that once held so much promise. We were the city on the hill and the world has always tried to emulate us. Now, we have school children wearing red hats and embracing neo-nazism. While he bumbles names, he somehow gets his coded messages clearly spoken. Neo-nazism among children comes from where? Have you seen any parents coming to a demonstration to whip junior's butt and tell him to get his narrow ass home? This part is for Christians Good will always win, but evil will have some victories. God will always win, but the devil will have some victories. America was never a Nazi country, but some similarities have started to arise. It will take true faith and a firm belief in right to win this battle. The evangelicals are dangerous because they have chosen to support ungodliness. He has told 1,000's of lies. John 8:44 .......When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-german-churches-and-the-nazi-state Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
