The connections between Trump and truth.

Both words start with "tru".

Both words have 5 letters.

Both are words of 1 syllable.

And that exhausts the connections.

But in Trump's defense, he cannot ever tell the truth because his life is built upon lies.

Concepts like truth, and sacrifice, and patriotism, and love for others are foreign to him. He can, at best, fake these things, but that is all that it is, all that he is.

My view is that most Trump supporters are they of whom Lincoln said, "you can fool some of the people all of the time..."

The others are racists, and greedy capitalists.

They listen to RW propaganda all day in their pickup trucks and watch Hannity and bowtie boy, Carlson at night.
