“A general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, ‘Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield. Men have gone down on my left and on my right. I stood on hills where soldiers were killed. But I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went on to that stage with Hillary Clinton, after what happened. And then that woman asked you the first question about it.’ And I said, locker room talk! It’s locker talk! What the hell?! Locker room talk!” – Trump, with yet another fake “Sir” story, last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala. And it was Anderson Cooper who asked him about the pussy tape that night, not a woman.

So, trump has a tell. Whenever he quotes somebody saying something to him and it starts with the word “sir” addressing him, he’s lying. He has made up the quote. This has been well documented.

All that this tells me is that trump would make a horrible poker player. Tell has been documented, discussed in the media, and he still won’t change it. Successful businessman indeed

        Not quite true. He sometimes stumbles onto a truth here and there, in his word salads. He seems to be getting better at avoiding them, however.

        E.g. he agreed he wanted to be a dictator.

          Also like the time after he won the election and his trumpets were chanting “lock her up” and he said something like “nah, I just said that because it sounded good”

      Never noticed that, lol. There should be a subreddit/community for all his fake-ass stories. I don’t think they’d be able to handle the sheer volume of them on a going basis

        It’s had a name for several years… Sir Stories. A big, strong man comes up to him, tears streaming down his eyes. “Sir! I can’t believe how strong you are with these Democrats. They treat you so unfairly! But you keep fighting for us, the real Americans!”

        There’s even an archive of them. Over 450 and counting.

              k, someone should sell this in such away that neither Trump nor anyone in his network sees any material gain (except further laughingstockery) and the publishers gain much to his chagrin

              Have at it shooter ;)

    Why is this website being promoted repeatedly in this community? It is, as far as I can tell, just a blog. Can we stick to news sites or professional analysis please?

    What a pathetic cretin. Like, put aside the fact that he’s a wannabe fascist who’s causing incredible damage to the country and the world - he really is just pathetic, on a fundamental level.

    The thing that amazes me the most about Trump is that he’s so ridiculously cartoonish.

    Who’d’ve thought that the most determined assault on American democracy would come from somebody who appears to be straight out of an Austin Powers movie?

        “Carolin Gallego”, holy shit, I forgot about this, fucking lol:

        “I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women—all women love Donald Trump.”

    He missed the part about the General coming up to him with tears in his eyes and doing that Princess Diana teeth smile thing looking up like a little girl

    Trump does have a tell. You can spot every lie by checking to see if his mouth is moving.

    Before he was elected I said “what kind of an idiot could bankrupt a fucking casino? Those things practically shit money.” Some assholes who I used to be friends with used to tout his bussiness skills, but they also claimed that a Confederate flag was their “heritage”. I suspect they only liked him for being a bigot.

    Does it count as a tell when it’s irrelevant? Everything Trump says is a lie. You can tell he’s lying because his lips are moving. The addition of the word “Sir” doesn’t change anything.
