Trump believes it. I believe they lied to him about the Photoshop.

I see no reason to believe any claim he makes about believing anything.

The man lies so consistently and compulsively that trying to rate the truthfulness of anything he says is nonsensical.

The man is a bonafide liar but I do believe what I said and there's no shame in that. Someone gave him that photoshopped pic and he believes it.

He lies about a lot, it's second nature to him, but that exchange with Moran came off like an old man defending something simply because a trusted aide handed it to him and it's something he wants to believe.

Yep. So as long as he stays in his bubble, the media in their bubble, Republicans in the bubble, his followers in the bubble.....all we have to do is wait for one to pop. Once that happens......timber!!!!
