The funniest part was that in the same int6erview here he made up the story about the embassy he accused CNN of making up lies in their stories.

Trump HAS credibility though, with his base and a super majority of the GOP, who trust him over the NYT and "fake news."

To them he is NOT "making up lies" but telling us what the MSM won't, telling it like it is and letting the chips fall where they may.  Not PC.  His six bankruptcies don't mean chronic failure but knowledge of how to work the system from all the angles to remain on top. An "unconventional" thinker so cut him slack when it looks like he is oblique to the law or contradicting the experts (they're the ones who got us into this mess (i.e., whatever mess you are talking about at the moment)).  So many reasons to trust HIM and not the media or the experts who will do anything to protect the status quo.

All that makes him a fount of truth in a world where domestic policy is overloaded with unnecessary regulations enforced by unelected bureaucrats who will do anything to protect their private fiefdoms; and foreign policy is overloaded with unnecessary international laws and agreements and treaties that nobody understands but prevent us from "taking out terrorists" and keeping the oil whenever we want.  So of course people are going to be mad when Trump puts America first. Screw Iraqi sovereignty. What about ours?

Rule of law applies to the border--We are a nation of laws or we are not--but outside of that it should not interfere with what the president wants to do. Let Trump be Trump--no apologies and no doing what other countries tell us to do.

Don't think there is a mass of GOP voters who really see through the lies, but stick with him for judges and de-regulation. The mass are true believers.  They're fine not seeing his tax returns, or with an impeachment without documents and witnesses. Taking out Solemeini on Iraqi soil was a "good decision" whether he posed an imminent threat or not.Read the transcript. Read the Constitution like you read the transcript. Article II says he can do what he wants.
