“A general, who’s a fantastic general, actually said to me, ‘Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield. Men have gone down on my left and on my right. I stood on hills where soldiers were killed. But I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went on to that stage with Hillary Clinton, after what happened. And then that woman asked you the first question about it.’ And I said, locker room talk! It’s locker talk! What the hell?! Locker room talk!” – Trump, with yet another fake “Sir” story, last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala. And it was Anderson Cooper who asked him about the pussy tape that night, not a woman.

So, trump has a tell. Whenever he quotes somebody saying something to him and it starts with the word “sir” addressing him, he’s lying. He has made up the quote. This has been well documented.

All that this tells me is that trump would make a horrible poker player. Tell has been documented, discussed in the media, and he still won’t change it. Successful businessman indeed

    Why is this website being promoted repeatedly in this community? It is, as far as I can tell, just a blog. Can we stick to news sites or professional analysis please?

      He has an even more obvious tell, which is that he’s lying whenever his lips are moving.

    The thing that amazes me the most about Trump is that he’s so ridiculously cartoonish.

    Who’d’ve thought that the most determined assault on American democracy would come from somebody who appears to be straight out of an Austin Powers movie?

    What a pathetic cretin. Like, put aside the fact that he’s a wannabe fascist who’s causing incredible damage to the country and the world - he really is just pathetic, on a fundamental level.

    Before he was elected I said “what kind of an idiot could bankrupt a fucking casino? Those things practically shit money.” Some assholes who I used to be friends with used to tout his bussiness skills, but they also claimed that a Confederate flag was their “heritage”. I suspect they only liked him for being a bigot.

    Does it count as a tell when it’s irrelevant? Everything Trump says is a lie. You can tell he’s lying because his lips are moving. The addition of the word “Sir” doesn’t change anything.
