He's going to keep saying obvious and attention grabbing lies like this.
Because quietly he's going to do horrible shit he doesn't want anyone to notice.
This has been the strategy all along according to Steve Bannon
Longer...
The memo – called, simply enough, “A Plan For Putting the GOP on TV News” – is included in a 318-page cache of documents detailing [Roger] Ailes’ work for both the Nixon and George H.W. Bush administrations that we obtained from the Nixon and Bush presidential libraries. Through his firms REA Productions and Ailes Communications, Inc., Ailes served as paid consultant to both presidents in the 1970s and 1990s, offering detailed and shrewd advice ranging from what ties to wear to how to keep the pressure up on Saddam Hussein in the run-up to the first Gulf War.
The memo explains why television was the way to go:
Today television news is watched more often than people read newspapers, than people listen to the radio, than people read or gather any other form of communication. The reason: People are lazy. With television you just sit—watch—listen. The thinking is done for you.

Ailes started Fox News because Nixon had to resign after Watergate. They figured if they could create their own news and talk about whatever they wanted, their voters would think what they were told to think.
Then in the 90s the oligarchs bought the only other options, and one of the first things the Clintons and Biden did was take a chainsaw to telecommunication regulations...
Don't fucking give credit to Bannon like he has a masterful insight. This was obvious and in plain sight, the literal memo saying they were gonna do it entered into Nixon's presidential library, and even more updates from HW's
It's the main reason Trump will likely never have one and is paranoid about flushing memos down toilets.
The big reason it's going so poorly is the plan was for someone like Jeb to be in office. trump just inserted himself into an existing plan like a cuckoo egg.
All super fucking obvious
So he's evil AND delusional?
They typically go hand in hand
“Oh, but this order does not come from me. It comes from the President. He signed it this morning.”
The reincarnated Joseph Goebbels spewing more shit out of his mouth.
Goebbels was in charge of Propaganda. Himmler was in charge of the Final Solution. He resembles Himmler far more, which is why I call him PeeWee Himmler.
+1...My angle...The racist neo-Nazi loser resembles fucking Goebbels. Short, skinny and the same shitty attitude.
This cretin has 4 kids btw.... How fucked up they must be to have this piece of shit as their father
His wife is vicious and insane as well: the kids got a double helping.
I wish I were joking, but I am not.
Rumor was that when he entered the White House, he had been so repellent his entire life that he was still a virgin. She was some White House functionary from some rich donor family that used the N-word at the dinner table routinely, and they fell in love.
She’s just as dirty as Temu Goebbels, and she does it all staying out of the limelight. Another horrible human being.
A lizard for a father and a potato for a mother, I'll bet those kids are gorgeous.
Padres feos, hijos bonitos.
What more would you expect from Pee Wee Himmler?
I've been calling him PeeWee Himmler for years, hoping others would pick it up. You're the first person I've seen. Let's spread it far.
Wooooow. Had to clear the cobwebs and dust to read this old magic. Neato!
lol ok Goebbels
From a Bayesian perspective he has no reason to admit otherwise. More people on the hook for a grift is better than fewer people on the hook for a grift.
So we're full-on in the Kim Jung Un-style masturbatory lies without even resembling reality stage? Fun.
Trump does that for … I don’t know, probably all his life. He always spun everything however fits his narrative and unfortunately it seems to work more often than not. Telling people what they want to hear seems exceedingly successful.
Since when does the WH Chief of Staff give speeches? I wonder who is really calling the shots here? Maybe the President's brain is pudding after all.
Maybe we should all start calling him "President Miller". That might overload Trump's fragile ego, though.
I've genuinely never seen so much sychophantic behavior in my life than the people surrounding this demented president.
When you're using public news as the channel to convince daddy you're a good boy.
I am so confused by his looks. Like, I have at least 15 years on him but he looks older than I do? He is aging like people in the 1940s &50s, does he smoke? Or it's just the evil aging him?
It's the evil.
You can stave off a lot of the evil-look, with money and effort. Once you get to the intimate evil though, like real close, wet work stuff that you want to personally do, it takes its toll.
There are very few people who can withstand what that does to a person's exterior, and that kind of power will make you far more successful than ole Steve Miller.
Is he delusional?
No, he’s something much more dangerous: he’s a bloodthirsty fascist.
He knows his words are false, but what he is doing is dictating reality to us; he’s making it clear how we are expected to behave, and that any deviation from said reality will be declared treasonous and terrorism. He’s saying we should treat the administration like gods who saved us from certain demise.
His only delusion is that enough of the population will fall in line over this. You’ve already lost the crowd, buddy. Prepare you ass for prison.
No. He just gets paid to say and do hateful things.
I had to fight the urge to downvote this.
Temu Goebbels has officially been promoted to Shein Himmler.
Peewee German. He is fucked.
before adding: “If it wasn’t for President Trump, the United States of America would not exist right now.”
That one in particular is fucking wild. What in the world does he think would have caused the total destruction of the US if Trump hadn't been there?
Until this week, I thought Trump was going to cause the complete destruction of the Untied States
In other news water is dry
Please, continue talking like that for the last 2 years of Trump's lame duck presidency! Voters clearly love the corruption and lying from out-of-touch Republicans...
How would you even try to parody this?
Their experience the last decade or so has been that they can talk anything into existence. Because we let them.
I hope this monster spends his life in jail.
