A few days ago at the African Journalist conference, Trump walked out on the stage about an hour after the event was scheduled to start. He immediately blamed the poor equipment.
Late, we find out that there was a brief and quickly resolved issue with the sound system. However, the big reason he was so late was because he refused to go on stage if they were planning on fact checking anything he said.
Think about that for a minute.
You want to go out and state your case for being president and yet feel that you can’t do that and tell the truth at the same time.
His campaign consists of 2 platforms; both wrapped in lies.
The first platform is to promise stuff. He claims to be able to solve the Israeli war in a day. Keep in mind, he put his inexperienced son-in-law in charge of resolving this while he, Trump, was president. He was going to disarm North Korea…never happened. He was going to teach Iran a lesson…and now they are building nuclear bombs. He was going to solve the border crisis…never happened. He was going to eliminate the national debt but instead grew it at a record pace.
Platform #1 works. He tells people what they want to believe to be true so they cheer him. Never mind that he never delivers.
Platform #2: Name calling. He says things like, “Joe Biden was voted the worse president of all time,” and “Kamala Harris is the worst VP every,” or “I was the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.” These mean nothing. They are made up. Just like when he said yesterday, “The price of groceries has gone up 60% or even 70%.” Just made up.
The common thing between these platforms; the lies and the name calling is the complete lack of substance.
This is why he does not want any fact checking. He doesn’t know any facts.
Try this…take a random 2 minute clip from his next rally. Look to see if there are any facts; any policy or any insight on how to govern. If you think he said something of substance, go online and see if its true.
Or, you can bury your head in the sand because he already said something you want to believe is true.
Time to save the world.
Up, up and away…

Then there are always the statements on things that never would have happened if he had been in office. Putin wouldn’t have invaded Croatia and Hamas wouldn’t have attacked Israel. Pretty unbelievable, but people still buy into it.
Common sense seems to be at an all time low. Getting publicly recognized at a rally for attending over 200 Trump rallies (and spending lotsa dough doing it) was probably the high point in some Maga-ites lives.
