It's not a bug, it's a feature. He's pivoted fully, he no longer cares about trying to make sense to anyone but his rabid fan base, and he wants them to come save him. Truth is not objective in authoritarian systems. It's whatever the authority says it is, and if that changes, then the truth changes.

Violate this and become that one famous guy not saluting Hitler in the famous photo. He died in a concentration camp.

The seeds were planted early and often:

"Alternative facts"

"Fake news"

"Truth isn't truth"

"What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening"

The cult is the only thing that's real. Yet it's the only thing they don't believe they're a part of.

My gramps used to tell lots of whoppers, like Trump. He was obsessed and over time he honed his whoppership to a fine art, where you could barely tell if he was rolling you a whopper or telling the truth. And that's the line of distinction right there. Trump never learned to be believable to anyone with half a brain.

Unfortunately there are a ton of people with less than half a brain who still believe him anyway.

That's not a knock on Millennials, that is language used to target them.

Wait until he starts talking about how he didn’t do anything, it’s fake news generated by AI. He’ll say the hands are all wrong. They aren’t tiny
