Trump paid attendees to his CIA speech?

The press report from the event suggests at least some of the love was more reality television than actually real. The press noted that the applause during Trump’s speech appeared to be coming from people the president had bussed in.

The rent-a-crowd gambit did not fool former CIA Director John Brennan, who slammed Trump’s speech as a “despicable display of self-aggrandizement.

His Presidency is shaping up as a Hollywood production. His incessant lying and deception will soon wear thin on many who voted for him.

Doh worry;
Lying Trump and his lap dog Spicer will soon be held accountable. They cannot even keep simple facts straight.
How can we then accept anything as the truth coming from the current White House?

If there is an alternate fact, it must be the opposite of what the fact would actually be.
Since a "fact" by definition is without question, then an "alternate fact" must be fiction.

There is a reason that Trump beat Clinton among Republican voters in every borough in NYC except Manhattan. Familiarity breeds contempt.

the thing is, Trump and his team give lying a bad name

i would never counsel a client to present alternative facts when in power.


a word of caution- anything we allow to seep out about Meeeeeah during the upcoming election will be labelled and presented as gospel according to the DLP machinery big grin

I figured it out………… if someone ask you to locate 120 degrees on a circle – starting at an initial side X-axis --– you could go counterclockwise to locate the 120 degrees ----or you could go clockwise, travel 240 degrees and end up at the same place-----and that my friends is how Trump figured he had twice the crowd of any other prior inauguration ------- it all depends on where you start your initial viewing – and whether you span right or left…………….thats what is called creating alternate fact big grin big grin big grin

Trump & his Cabinet are living in an
Alternate Universe . So also are many of his Supporters who drank his Kool Aid .

This is a good reminder about the value of a free press for protecting democracy. It is incredible that this top Trump official actually threatened the freedom of the press here!

Believe it or not, the telling of lies by people in authority actually works, and is therefore very dangerous. For example, Pravda used to tell the Russians that American workers spent every single day striking against the 'bourgeoisie', and most of them believed it. It did not occur to those believing that you couldn't keep your job if you were on strike everyday.

So, do not underestimate the power of the lie. Trump's team apparently understands that well.
