(11,767 posts)Trump: "I think its going to disappear very soon..I hope.
Fox idiot: "You still believe that?"
Trump: I do, I do, yes ... at some point
Those little flourishes at the end are both tells that he is lying, and what he thinks will get him out from responsibility for what he says. Legally and technically he may be correct, because he wasn't making a predictive statement or giving specifics so "technically" he wasn't lying. He is still trying to communicate deceptively though. He knows that his followers will hear the operative phrase and he knows reporters will write snippets of the statement and the headline will not include the "I hope" or "at some point".
He is disgusting.
