. Seth Meyers takes a closer look at Trump’s willingness to make claims based on zero evidence, which doesn’t mix well with his shoot-from-the-hip style of foreign diplomacy. Trump will continue to make up whoppers as long as leading Republicans – who should know better, answer media questions about his bald face lies, by saying: “He’s entitled to his opinions.” Yes he is – but only when he coaches the statements as opinions, not facts! ,Scottie Nell Hughes laid both ‘Facts and Truth’ to rest recently. All that matters is what you can get people to believe.
If you’ve ever tried reasoning with someone who firmly believes that tens of thousands of illegal immigrants,and not a few zombies voted for Hillary, you understand fully why Seth quips; “I’m starting to think the hand to forehead (as in frustration) will be our Pledge of Allegiance position for the next four years.”
“Dealing with foreign powers in unstable regions, you need sober anualytical thinking and a grasp of reality – two things you don’t associate with Donald Trump. The only things less associated with Donald Trump are modesty and a dancer’s body.”
Trump may have briefly caught a glimmer of how far over his head he is last week when he told Newt Gingrich:
“This is really a bigger job than I thought!”
I was momentarily hopeful too, Trump probably just wants a raise.
