Trump is just like Lincoln.

He demonstrates the same intelligence, the same level of integrity, the same clear vision as Lincoln.

George Lincoln Rockwell.

Trump's lies are not meant to be mere standalone attempts to get over on people, although that is often a short-term goal of a manoeuvre he engages in. His main and true goal is far beyond that. It is the utter annihilation of truth itself as any sort of objective measure.

The GOP strategy is to rewrite reality on a day by day basis. Reality and truth are rendered meaningless.
