(9,445 posts)22. Fake It Until You Make It
Donald Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He realizes that in some instances if you keep saying it some people will begin to believe it. Already his supporters believe he won the popular vote. How many people never thought to question, or verify whether or not Trump's electoral college win was one of the largest in history? How many people, who do not pay attention to politics, believed Trump hook, line, and sinker when he made his electoral college comment? Trump keeps repeating these lies because he knows the benefits of telling lies.
