58. another example of Trump seeing himself in others...
Mon Feb 18, 2019, 05:52 PM
Feb 2019

It started with 'crooked Hillary' when in fact Trump is absolutely a crook. Then 'Hillary is trying to rig the election', 'Lying Ted', 'fake news', and on and on. Anytime Trump makes a statement like he did against McCabe, the statement is true, not about the person, or entity, he is attempting to denigrate, but it is a true statement about himself.

Just turn it around, if he calls McCabe a traitor, it is because he, himself is a traitor.

You can do this about every lie he makes. 'No Collusion, means there is collusion, 'Russian didn't interfere in our election', means Russia absolutely interfered in our election. Take any statement he ever makes and turn it around, then you have a true statement. This is right out of Hitler's playbook.

How fucking stupid does he think 65% of the people are.
