This is a new tier of cognitive dissonance, even for Trump. I mean he literally got crowds chanting "lock her up!" Hopefully this is the icing on the cake of his felony convictions and gets a few more people to break out of the cult.

Dude, he lied about the weather and the size of the crowd on his inauguration day. He fundamentally doesn't care about the truth. He doesn't hate it or anything, it's just that the truth isn't important to him unless denying it would get him in immediate trouble.

I know he's a liar. But lying about those things can't resonate with his supporters the way this could. This was almost a core campaign slogan, it's a downright meme. A denial that he supported it ought to be a much more obvious lie than the others

This also makes him look weak, since many still believe she belongs in jail, which is a cardinal sin in the GOP.
