When To Believe Him

Here's my rule of thumb: When you-know-who says he's going to do something negative, believe him. When he says he's going to do something positive, don't believe him.

Ron Filipowski ‪@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social‬ reports that Trump admits he was the one who found the video and asked that it be posted from his Truth Social account. Refuses to apologize.

> Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer?
> Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn't see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it.
> Reporter: Are you going to apologize?
> Trump: No, I didn't make a mistake.

Don’t believe a damn thing he says, positive or negative.

His words rarely, if ever, are accurate predictors of his actions.

Most things he attempts to do he fails miserably.

Never forget this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless.
