sitting there dissing the EU and our allies on trade (and weirdly saying no one has negotiated trade deals before) with the NATO official beside him.
A question-have they always delayed transmission of presidents appearances?

(52,203 posts)bluffs are when you try something that's a lie or at least an exaggeration, but it's hopefully believable and you get away with it; but you can't back up, so you have to pay a price for if you get called out.
donnie's lies are not believable to begin with, and he doesn't really rely on people believing them. instead, he relies on thug tactics to go along with it and let him get away with it even when the lie is exposed.
in truth, the lies are loyalty tests. they work well precisely because they're obvious lies. that way, if you repeat the lie, he knows you're on his side.

(37,428 posts)He's faked his fortune, his success, his marriages, his education, his university, his intelligence, his experience, his book, his everything. He counts on no one calling his bluffs, and mostly this has paid off for him.
He doesn't often bother lying. He bullshits. None of it stands up to any examination.
