tRump's War Room strategy: 'throw out conspiracy theories and avoid the facts'

‘Everything becomes a conspiracy theory’: Trump leans into spurious claims for impeachment defense

The president has long enjoyed tossing up outlandish theories and watching his supporters run with them. Now he’s weaponizing the practice for the toughest fight of his presidency.

A president who rose to political prominence on birtherism — and then won the White House obsessed with Hillary Clinton’s emails — is latching onto scraps of conspiracy theories to build his political defense against impeachment.

Data, evidence and repeated assurances from Trump’s own national security leaders do not appear to influence Trump...Trump is joined in his like-minded distribution of misinformation by his close personal friend and lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who often floats such ideas on TV - Politico


Pathetic!

Isn't that pretty much tRump's whole narcissistic existence in a nutshell, to shape reality around his ethically bankrupt maniacal ego? For that matter, it's right up Fox Entertainment's alley.
