Do you think Trump lies to himself as well as the American people?

A couple of days ago Trump asked his supporters to go to the courthouse and fight like hell. Very few of his supporters showed up so he started claiming it was because the police are keeping them away. The police aren't keeping them away and Trump likely knows it. But he lies about it to fool himself. Cheers!

    I believe he does lie to himself.  He doesn't see himself the way some of us see him.

    Yeah I think he has those mirrors you see at side shows that make you look skinny. And when he looks in the mirror and notices a thin him he says stuff like – looking good Donald did you lose weight. Cheers!

    Do you think every Trump supporter owns a MAGA hat in NYC???

    Yeah it would be ridiculous to think every Trump supporter in NYC wears a MAGA hat. But they do all have signs – big signs that say things like – Trump 2024 or witch hunt. Cheers!

    No, but at least one or two might. No hats, no signs -  if this crowd was there for Trump, it was a lot more low key than usual. This post was edited by Jane S at April 24, 2024 8:27 AM MDT

    There were some of his supporters there but not enough to satisfy Trump's ego. So Trump makes up a lie that the police stopped his supporters from protesting at his fraud trial. And he will keep building on that lie until he convinces himself that there were more supporters there than any other trial in US history. Cheers!

    Good thing Biden doesn't expect much, he could not even fill a school classroom.

    Cute. This is Biden speaking to his campaign workers at their headquarters. It is not a public campaign stop. Nice try.

    Yes it was a campaign organizing event in Florida with Nikki Fried. 
    Still not a good look.  That was all he could get for campaign workers and supporters and the families  and he could not fill a classroom....that is pitiful.  

    This was the event where he made the Sign of the Cross when Fried was supporting abortion.

    What's pitiful is when the wife and family don't show up to support a criminal defendant on trial.

    Why would they sit and listen to a bunch of liars?  There time is better spent out campaigning for their husband/Dad/FIL because he cannot go himself. 

    He is on trial for something that the statue of limitations has expired.  For a campaign finance violation that the election commission said there was no case for....not even so much as a fine from the Federal Election Commission said Trump did NOTHING wrong.  They did not file a charge. (Obama got fines, Hillary  also got fined)  Then of course, Bragg decided he could use it for election interference.

    I always thought something was up with that photo – so I am glad you shed a little light on it. I have probably seen that photo a million times on the internet and it is always used to try to say Biden is so unpopular he can’t even fill a class room. I was thinking maybe the reason there were only a few people in the class room was because of fire safety regulations - but it being a campaign organizing meeting makes more sense. You don’t need all your supporters at an organizing meeting - you just need enough to organize the other supporters in their district. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Not only that, but right-wing media has a history of cropping photos and videos,  or using certain angles, to fit their narrative.

    Of course he does.  The man's such a pathological liar that he'd even lie to a rock.

    Yeah he would tell the rock that the boulder on Raiders of the Lost Ark was a good friend of his. Cheers!

    I do not think Trump lies to himself. He knows he is nothing but a con man and iis probably delighted that there is no lie so far-fetched that a good majority of his fans won't believe it.

    Perhaps there were fewer people than Trump expected because it's fresh in their minds what happened to so many of the folks who turned up on January 6th and fought like hell.  Some are eating baloney sandwiches in prison now.

    Yep but Trump will take that fact and say stuff like - the only reason it is fresh in peoples minds is because the fake news keeps pushing it. And the fake media is controlled by crooked Joe Biden. Trump’s lies hurt people and put people in danger or land them in jail. And I think this fraud trial is going to help a few people see that. Cheers!

    Sadly, I disagree. This is not the trial that will bring him down. We are learning nothing new, his supporters don't care about his character, and whether or not this should be a felony charge is debatable. I expect a hung jury and a mistrial.
