He lies so much, and has gotten away with it (at least he thinks so) so often that even this one won't stop him. If the nation could be sure that this one would stop him for good, then it might be worth it to put up with this sh*t, but it won't. He doesn't know any other way to live. If he could shut up, it would help, but he can't. So, unfortunately, it will probably get worse.

(38,436 posts)but the fact that Trump has doubled down on this one shows he has no sense of decency. He cannot leave it alone. He thinks in a day or two it will be over. ..not this one. This one will stay in the minds of most of us as to who Trump is/ was for a very long time..
Just as important...The fact that the media is finding out that he did not contact other families in the same situation, will make this much worse.
When the proof comes on what other presidents have done, compared to Trump, this will blow up more. But we will see. This particular lie will not go away soon in my opinion. It hurts almost everyone since the topic is so horrific
