    Default Why Do Trump Supporters Believe Trump's Myths?

    He's not a "self-made" man. His dad was behind his early successes, and when he did branch out on his own (out of Brooklyn residential real estate via his father's business, Trump Management) and into the world of casinos and hotels, he buried himself in bankruptcy. His father would actually send his driver to Trump's casino to buy millions of dollars in chips just to help his son's business.

    He's not a "success" or "qualified" in any sense.

    Mental deficiency. Fear. Need to believe there is someone that's on their side. But primarily the first. They don't think he qualified. They think he will help them find a way out of their miserable, hate filled, fearful existence. They think he will do this by eliminating those that they perceive to be 'the enemy'. It's tribal politics on steroids, along with a dose of white supremacy. Fortunately, they have now been completely marginalized.

    All true. We have seen this in the techniques of fascism. Nationalism and Racism.

    A better question is why do his detractors make up so many myths about him?

    Trump knows exactly what he is doing, as long as he keeps telling them what they want to hear, pretending to hate what they hate, they will swallow anything, there are scores of prior radio DJs that made themselves millionaires sing the exact same thing, called demagoguery, and the right is easy prey

    I'm not particularly one of his TDS detractors, so I don't have any I've made up. Maybe you can make up one or two since you seem to be in that camp.

    Is it a myth that trump lies constantly, to the point where most of anything he says cannot be believed?

    You make the claim that detractors make things up, but won’t give examples and come back with this ridiculous comment.
    Thanks for the laugh.

    The ones who believe his lies are low IQ individuals who want to believe his lies.

    I'm only asking questions. Those claiming all sorts of stuff about Trump are the ones that have to prove their position.

    You make two egregious errors here.

    You seem to be purporting that no one can claim any success in "building upon" anything. You are implying that all the success for Amazon does not belong to Bezos but to the guy who invented the transistor. Your reasoning is absurd. Trump built upon his father's success. If you deny that then you are the one in denial.

    You mention that Trump fell into bankruptcy. All success thereafter MUST have been of his own doing, yes? ... or is your previous denial carrying over?

    Well, we now know who suckles exclusively from the teet of DNC propaganda and who is now completely dependent upon others doing his thinking for him.
