(47,364 posts)Seven decades of lying should have made him a consummate pro by now, but he still lies like a small child. Even more incomprehensible is the fact that his supporters still believe him!

(3,504 posts)I seriously think this is what goes on with him.
He comes up with a story that he thinks would be good enough to fool himself. He fails to realize how stupid he actually is. Which of course would be hard to understand, being that stupid.
He thinks it is a genius approach. Everyone else thinks he is an idiot.
Well - not everyone else, unfortunately. Some think he is an idiot, some go along with it for their own benefit, and some are dumb enough to fall for it.

(47,364 posts)He sees everything from the limited perspective of his own puny brain and being he had a certain amount of money and power, many people looked the other way. It must have been a glorious moment when he discovered his base and found that they actually believed him for real.

(70,483 posts)I would guess Ginni Thomas and Rudy might have something to do with the money
to purchase those burner phones.
It's difficult to trace dollar bills.

He spent four years in office, around all kinds of security people from varied areas of expertise.
It's just not possible that in that time there was not one discussion related to burner phones.
Miserable lying sack of shit.

(61,588 posts)Trump wants people to argue about whether he knows a slang term or not. That's irrelevant. What matters is what he did - not the word he used for it at the time.

(70,483 posts)Jan. 6 organizers used burner phones to communicate with White House
Organizers of the "Stop the Steal" rally that preceded the deadly Capitol attack on Jan. 6 allegedly communicated with members of former President Trump's family and administration, according to Rolling Stone magazine.
Multiple sources told Rolling Stone that Kylie Kremer, an organizer for the rally that took place at D.C.'s Ellipse park, had an aide buy three burner phones a few days before Jan. 6. Kremer said that it was "of the utmost importance" that the phones be purchased with cash, one source, who was a member of the March for Trump team, told the magazine.

Now THAT is a term I'm sure he is VERY familiar with.
