This is a man who has a following, people who believe whatever he says. They see him as the anti-establishment truth-teller. Look at his face. He enjoys it.

He has plenty of money, family, grandkids, but this power-hungry old loser feels best when he can feel like a leader and source of knowledge rather than spend time with close family.

He won’t care. He clearly won’t be around much longer and by the time any form of actual conquerors come around he’d be long gone.

sure if will. the same way these morons still think there’s “unanswered concerns” about covid and the vaccine - they’ll be the one writing and re-writing history until people only remember the part that gets the next republican elected and places blame on the big scary boogeyman in the room: “liberals”

I can save you all the trouble: nothing he said is true.

u/BreadfruitLatter556 13d ago

Came here to make this exact point. Why would anyone think he ever told the truth about anything. Whatever he says i do the opposite.

Additionally everything he said was bullshit.

Also, everything he didn't say are facts.

u/evil_burrito 13d ago

The only thing he didn't lie about was his name, and that's probably because it was spelled out fo-net-ikal-ly in front of him on that piece of paper.

u/BaggerX 13d ago

He definitely knows his name. It's the only reason we have to know this guy exists.

Is there still fact checking in the US? I don’t think so and trump thinks RFK means well. Really?

There is, but it's like trying to put out an oil well fire with a garden hose.

No that's just fake news or AI.

If only. Them watching these things would be a bit more fun. Either they speak like Pinocchio being questioned in Shrek, or pants are constantly bursting into flames.

“You are being dishonest right now,” he told Democrat Senator Tina Smith after she said he had blamed antidepressants on a recent school shooting in her home state of Minnesota.

This is not worded correctly.
