Trump Compares Files on Hunter Biden's Computer to Anthony Weiner Scandal

[EndlessWire]

17. Psychological ploy

When he makes the comparison, the mind shifts to compare the two items, and stops considering whether something is true or not. Since the comparison is plausible, you tend to stop asking if either part is true, and just concentrate on whether the two-part comparison is true.

That way he gets away with smearing Hunter Biden, even though there is no proof of any kind that the story they made up is true. So, it gives a kind of shine of legitimacy to it, and creates talking points like the smear is true.

Trump truly is a disgusting creature. I'll bet there is nobody on the planet who believes this crap. But, he's going to push it because that's all he's got. He has no success to run on, the GOP didn't bother to write or publish a platform that they cared to run on, and any traction they get depends on people unable to tell when they're being conned.
