      I honestly can’t decide if he just really doesn’t know or he’s this consistently dishonest. It’s hard to pick cuz I have trouble believing he could be that consistent about anything.

        @njm1314 @KoboldCoterie he’s a conman, so pretty consistent with whichever lies the con depends on, like LEV generally means Low Emission Vehicle. He knows how tariffs work, but won’t admit that. Keeping cult members in a disinformation bubble is the whole game.

        It think he’s role playing as a “wildcard” character. He actually has said he likes being unpredictable to keep people on their toes.

      Frustratingly his constant repeating of this backwards understanding is working. It’s starting to widely take hold and resistance in the face of constant misinformation is breaking down. I heard in the last week NPR and the BBC repeat the “foreign country will pay” as fact, not a quote, with no effort to correct or clarify.

      What’s the saying? Repeat a lie enough and it becomes reality?

      Neither do the people whom who voted. This is why an educated population is very important
