    besides repeating repeating repeating lies until they are accepted by the weak-minded as truth, is that he doesn't "come up for air".

    I watched a top salesman work, and then I watched him coaching a new person. His main teaching was "don't choke up!" He would get talking his line to the "mark" and he would talk without pause or hesitation. One word followed another without pause for thought. If the "mark" tried to interrupt with a comment or question, he would stop and listen. And then without missing a beat he would reply in the same way and take it back to his line of pitch. It comes across as confidence in the subject, knowledge of the facts, and trustworthiness even if it is misplaced trust.

    That is what Trump does, and too many are fooled by it. To add to his method of deceit, notice that when Trump says "as you know" or "everyone knows", it's a bright red flashing sign that he is telling a lie that no one "knew". But his delivery comes across as trustworthy when it's not.

    Trump is a master salesman. His product is essentially snake oil.

    During the town hall, trump said something that might be prophetic if he spends the next year in jail.

    You lost me at the first line with this hypocrisy. This is what they do to Trump with all this white supremacy BS. Say it enough, and people start to believe it. Unfortunately, due to the dirty tactics of the dirty democrats, Trump is forced to fight fire with fire. You guys want TRUTH? then practice what you preach for a change

    No one has ever furnished proof that Trump is a racist or advocates white supremacy. If I'm wrong I expect to see the proof posted as a reply to my post.

    When a lie is told over and over and over, you start to believe it. Therefore lies become the truth to you.

    That's a good reply! But seriously, I am watching Trump now and everything he says is true in my life experience.

    What for? You've seen it a dozen times on these forums alone. You just deny it. It's what Trump counts on: his supporters denying reality even if it hits them on the face.

    You forgot to insert the word alternate before the word reality.

    So, in your life experience, 85% of people who wear masks become infected...

    I mean... this statement doesn't speak well of your life experience, I'm sorry to say.

    Not sure where you got that from, I only know of one person who got infected. He is fine now. Don't confuse infection with death!

    From Trump! Of course you will think everything he says is true if you tune out the lies.

    He got the promises he made to his billionaire donors done. Nothing else!

    And even those went kerplop with his mishandling of the Trump Pandemic.

    All politicians are master salesmen. If you side with a party, you have been sold.

    I am sold on Trump. I was skeptical of voting for him in 2016 but can't wait to vote for him now.

    I wouldn't necessarily call him a master salesman, as that would be a broader term for someone who can truly sell anything to anybody. That type of salesman knows how to create a degree of trust with anyone, whether they buy or not, because even though they may not be a customer today, they may become one tomorrow.

    Trump's level of a salesman is far closer to that of a shyster, no morals, no empathy, always figuring an "angle", big, splashy, and dumb as a doorknob regarding anything else that doesn't have to do with his goal or sale. These types of salesmen are here today, gone tomorrow.

    Normally I would agree with you.
    But look at the other option here... I mean Biden. It's not exactly like he somehow compares favorably to Trump in this way.

    Those are the "promises"? You getting a tax cut that you will have to pay back with interest (when you pay for the billionaire's tax cuts too). And 5 miles worth of wall that Mexico didn't pay for? And....

    Ah... forget it! My God, voting for somebody to be President because he's going to temporarily move the Embassy to Jerusalem (until the next President comes in) is just... pathetic!
