22. As opposed to stomping your feet and insisting that it's true?

Thu Oct 23, 2025, 04:23 PM

Thursday

Okay you've found someone claiming that Trump could be reelected because he didn't serve consecutive terms. I can find people claiming the world is flat, Bigfoot is real, Elvis isn't dead, etc. As they said, just because someone can dream it up, doesn't make it realistic.

People have been claiming since at least George W Bush that the current president won't leave office, there won't be elections. Those claims didn't come to pass.

Here are some other ideas Trump has floated: Mexico will pay for the wall, other countries will pay for the tariffs, he can end the war in Ukraine on day 1, he'll reveal his healthcare plan in 2 weeks, Obama isn't a natural born citizen, infrastructure week is coming, etc. Known liars aren't a great source.
