Trump supporters love the lies he spews during rallies. The rest of the voters won't.
Donald Trump knows the value of a historical rewrite.
For two decades, Trump has pitched and re-pitched versions of his own story that seriously revised some of the facts we all knew about him.
Long before he was a one-term president, Trump was a New York real estate developer and casino operator known for being brash and often bankrupt.
Then came "The Apprentice," NBC's "alleged" reality television show that incongruously cast Trump in 2004 as a business whiz who could do no wrong, a profitable role that helped save him financially and then propel him to the presidency.
Trump is still at it, rewriting history as quick as he can make it.

(21,181 posts)ABC evening news started Sunday and Monday airing that comment. And not defending him but at least they reported it.
The $hit the orange menace is saying will come back to haunt him in October when the DNC runs these ads all over the country because they will have ample funds and it will be hard for his campaign to refute because its all on tape and not AI as his own words at these rallies will be shown on Tv. I know the right wing media will defend him but regular media will report as it is.
Someone should find out the favorite shows of his supporters and advertise for President Biden 24/7 when before the voting starts. And dont forget how he loves uneducated voters!

...........Trump has go-to lies he tells on repeat for the sake of his followers
Consider his speech Saturday in Dayton, Ohio, when Trump pushed his three favorite lies as historical rewrites: The 2020 election he lost was "rigged," we were all better off four years ago with him as president, and the goons who attacked the Capitol at his urging on Jan. 6, 2021, are really "patriots" who have done no wrong.
Why does Trump tell these lies? Because he knows they work, at least with his existing supporters. A USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll in January found that two-thirds of Trump voters don't trust the 2020 election results and many were softening their views on the rioters who attacked the Capitol.
