I've been studying con artists all my life. They have always fascinated me.
I spent over a decade debunking psychics, mediums, and all manner of paranormal bullshit before turning my attention to politics.
Without fail, I have found every con artist to be dumb as a bag of hammers, and Trump is no exception.
Where con artists differ from the rest of us is that they have no conscience. They are sociopaths.
The most powerful tool in the con artist's kit it the desire to believe on the part of the mark. 90 percent of any con takes place in the mark's head.
No amount of facts, counter-evidence, or logical persuasion can make a dent in the mark's desire to believe some of the most outlandish bullshit. If they want to believe grandma is speaking to them through the chain-smoking crone across the felt table from them, there is virtually nothing you can do or say to dissuade that belief. Trust me, I've tried valiantly for a really long time.
"I want to bleev, so it must be true!"
The second most powerful tool in the con artist's kit is to tell the mark exactly what they want to hear. They want to hear grandma is in heaven and happy and looking out for her grandkids from above. They want to hear a Trump replacement for Obamacare exists. They want to hear aliens are visiting from other worlds.
Every con artist perfects a particular hook. So I thought I would demonstrate Trump's particular hook.
Trump's hook is to make a bald assertion, then rely on the weak-minded to repeat that assertion, then to claim the assertion is true by virtue of how many people believe it.
An illustration:
TRUMP: The moon is made of WHITE AMERICAN cheese!
RUBES: The moon is made of White American cheese!
REPORTER: Mr. President, you don't actually believe the moon is made of cheese, do you?
TRUMP: Well, a lot of people say it is.
In my next post, I will explain how Trump expanded on this type of con in the Ukraine.

Really, you just really can't defend the indefensible.
Michael Cohen explained how Trump doesn't give direct orders, how he talks in code. It's so obvious, but like g5 says, you don't want to see it.
Having studied the tactics of con men for so many years, there have been times when I've been tempted to bilk rubes like you. The temptation can be quite strong when talking to a con man's rubes. It's as if they beg to be taken.You should be an excellent con artist then. Where did you go wrong?I've been studying con artists all my life. They have always fascinated me.

I'd be wealthier than Trump since I am far more intelligent than he is.
But, unlike Trump and so many other con artists, I have a conscience.
What has been so disappointing to me over the years is just how easy it is to con people like you. It is amazingly easy. All because of that powerful desire to believe some serious bullshit on the part of the marks.

Your side is really getting desperate. You need to face the factāMr. Trump won the election fair and square, and your candidate lost.
Yeah, Trump won. Because there are tens of millions of gullible rubes and he had no problem exploiting their weaknesses, just as he has done his entire life.
That does not take away from the fact he is a con artist and has fooled, and continues to fool, idiots like yourself.
He is a liar.I've been studying con artists all my life. They have always fascinated me.

Here's the problem with YOUR scenario: The Reporter's wouldn't cite "people we;ve talked to" to refute the President. The reporter would cite his own government's statistics which show that poor people aren't better off as a result of his policies. And that GDP in the manufacturing sector is now at the same levels as as 2009, as the manufacturing sector cratered. And income is only up 3%.
And Trump would call him a liar.

Trump cult members arenāt going to read your posts; and if they do, theyāll remain willfully ignorant.
The ultimate success of the con is the desire of those conned to be conned.
Indeed, for most Trump cult members, theyāre willful participants in the con ā such is their desire for Trump to be successful.
Please die soon.
I read all of his posts and wondering why he is wasting his breath.
I can sit in a room with 10 of my friends who voted for trump and they will generally say they don't like him. They don't trust him and they wish there was someone better.
We get the politicians we deserve.
And I voted for one of them.
But, the world didn't end with Donald Trump. I am begginning to think the left can't swallow it's pride and get over it.
The people who elected Trump felt left out.....like you said....you get what you deserve. You marginalize a large part of the population...they might just shove it back up your ass.
Trump is a billionaire because of his daddy and he because he has no conscience. He does not mind exploiting human weakness. Ripping off investors, sucking off gambling, greed, beauty contests, and a fake university which robbed the elderly. There is no low too low for Donald Trump.I don't know if I am the smartest guy in any room, but I am definitely smarter than Trump. Way smarter.More bull shit. Brought to you by the self styled smartest guy in any room.
What a dweeb. LOL
Speak of self-styled smart guys:
]
I doubt that. He's a billionaire who knows how to make money and how to get things done.
I'd bet he's way smarter than you will ever be.
Of course in your little mind you think your smarter. Have fun.
If these idiots would research a little, you know, scratch beneath the headlines, they would learn that Donald inherited the equivalent in today's dollars of $413M from his father. Fred started setting up Donald to "earn" $200K a year when he was 2 years old. Went up every year.
Donald then threw his own father under the bus and went to court to take over his father's accounts when Fred started showing signs of forgetfulness in the mid-90s.
Then proceeded to buy up everything in sight and file bankruptcy for six of his properties and acquisitions.
He was toxic to the New York lenders he depended on, so what's a guy to do when he can't get American banks to work with him anymore???? Hmmmmm.....let me see......
He's the worst human scum.
He obviously did something right in business because he's worth 3 billion. That billion with a B.
Speaking of scum. That you to a tee. LOL
Trump is no different than Obama or Hillary.
LOL!!!!
Yeah, or so the late Jeff Epstein thought...
Epstein's island would still be open for business if Hillary had won.
And Hunter Biden's kickback would still be "hush hush."
There is a difference with Trump = all the people stealing from the taxpayer hate him, loved Hillary and Cocksucker Obama

Seriously- the people stealing from the taxpayer love Trump- love, love, love Trump.
Trump has reduced staffing and funding at every agency that enforces tax collection- which just happens to benefit Trump and his wealthy buddies immensely.
As far as Epstein is concerned- Trump had no problem palling around with Epstein for years.

In 2002, in a profile about Epstein in New York Magazine, Trump was quoted as saying, āIāve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. Heās a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it ā Jeffrey enjoys his social life.ā
Remember- Trump didn't act on Epstein until after the "Fake Media" revealed the bogus deal the prosecutor Trump proudly named as Labor Secretary had made.

Bullshit! Trump threw Epstein out of Mar A Lago years ago when he found out what a perv he was! Bill Clinton was still palling around with Epstein right up until Epstein was arrested.
