Trump, Oct. 2020: "If [Biden] gets in, you’re going to have a depression, the likes of which you’ve never seen before with the possible exception of 1929."

If you told me about Trump 2024 back in 2014, I would've called the situation impossible. I still cannot believe he's fooled as many people as he has. He's Lonesome Rhodes personified.

1. Not everything.

I think he's being honest when he says he would be a dictator.

I think he's being honest when he says he'll pardon 1/6 defendants and his cronies.

I think he's being honest when he calls for police brutality.

I think he's being honest when he insinuates that he's out for revenge.

I think he's being honest when he says racist, misogynistic, bigoted, and sexist things.

His truth-telling is highly selective, but just as much can be learned from it - if not more - than the endless false things he says.

2. He talks in gibberish

And never says anything of substance. He calls it the weave. Most of us see it as the usual bullshit from the firehose of lies.

3. Harwood, though, tells the truth.

Which, when Harwood told CNN the truth about Trump, they fired him.

4. I'm inclined to believe Trump when he says...

He'll be a dictator on day one and will use his power fir retribution against his political opponents.
