Trump vs the truth

[thetooththewholetooth]

Apols if there's already a thread, but I haven't seen it. Just watching Trump vs the Truth (which was on last night). How the fuck does he get away with it? He must either know he's lying and know that he'll punish anyone who points it out, or he's being fed shite and doesn't have the intelligence to question it or he's really not well.

How??? Why is he allowed to continue spreading his dangerous lies????

Any reporters who challenge him are banned from the shitehouse.

Media networks who publish anything critiquing him are sued or face other financial sanctions.

Individuals who make public comments he doesn’t like are ridiculed and threatened.

Many of his maga followers are quite prepared to, and indeed have already, commit violence against anybody he names in his mad rants.

He controls the judiciary and the police.

Basically he frightens everyone into submission.

Downing St. Media banned the Australian State Broadcaster from attending the press conference this afternoon, citing logistical reasons. They are fucking cowards and liars.

He denied knowing Peter Mandelson despite having met him in the Oval Office last May where they held hands.

Some of the stuff he comes away with is so obviously nonsense people must see it??

The power he has is terrifying. He'll no doubt change the rules so he can run for another term.

They do. But they must be so terrified of the damage that he might wreak that they are afraid to say or do anything to upset him. Hence all the shite that went on at Windsor yesterday.

The Americans have unleashed a monster, the best the rest of the democratic world can do is try to manage the fall out.
