    “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.”

    Trump is so old he probably means human computers. They were still around when he was a young man. Right? He meant the people counting the votes, right? Heaven forbid he actually tried to monkey with the voting machines. Because that would be illegal, and totally unthinkable for someone with a stainless reputation like His Orangeness…

      Don’t assume there’s anything meaningful behind what he says. His algorithm is mind-numbingly simple: say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.

      That’s all there is. There is no thought and no feeling. He has no more inner life than a cockroach.

        say stupid shit. If it gets attention, double down.

        And that’s exactly how he gets away with all the stuff he does: people simply assume he’s talking crap, until they realize he wasn’t.

        Trump should not be allowed to say anything remotely controversial without meeting fact-checking and extreme resistance at each and every step. Either that’ll teach him to be careful with what he says, or he’ll eventually get caught incriminating himself. If people let him say any old thing because of the sheer volume of bullshit coming out of his piehole, he’s gonna keep getting away with everything.
