Donald Trump just finished talking to supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, and based on tweets from reporters, he seems to be just pulling things out of his hat. Anyone with an average IQ should hear what he's saying and think, "Huh? No, that can't be possible," or "Um, I really don't think so," and yet, they're eating it up.
Donald Trump is a showman, but at some point, when you're lied to, repeatedly, you should think, "I can't trust this person, because if they're going to lie about this, what else will they lie about?"...
Like, six million people over the age of 112 are getting Social Security benefits?
And... proof he's so very wrong:

I was only 63 when he entered this race - I am over 115 right now!

(7,412 posts)I've seen several predictions about this possibility. Two possible angles, on outcomes, he launches an independent run to guarantee a Hillary victory in the general OR he has been providing cover all along to Republicans they actually want.
People might possibly look at the regular GOP bunch now and think they are kind of sane compared to Trump.
