Trump literally cannot face reality because of his serious personality disorder, so yes.

Apparently it's pretty common for people who regret their vote to lie about who they voted for when asked.

Why do so many people say they voted for the president when they didn't?


So rather than look for a decline in Trump's approval ratings among Trump voters or among Republicans, it's better to look at how many people admit they voted for Trump or admit to being Republicans.

I know this is from pages ago, but I said it before that you can expect in 12 years time there will be people who openly supported Trump claiming that they never voted for him. It will be one of those cases where no-one will have admitted to voting/supporting him.

How stupid could you be, to trust Alex Jones? To think that this would somehow bolster your career?

I don't see how this especially harms Jones OR Kelly, it's a ton of free publicity for both of them. Hell, they probably agreed on it in advance. People keep saying Jones is a nut simply because nutty words come out of his mouth but he can turn that poo poo on and off at will.

Similarly, Kelly smashed her contract with Fox, drove off with a giant truckload of settlement money, rubbed it in with an immediate book publication ("Settle For More") and moved over to a much healthier news outlet in a prime time slot. She's scum but she plays her cards pretty well :shrug:

He's thanking them so much because these rallies are his heroin and he needs them so goddamn bad to keep at being an awful president.

Its great for Jones. Any mainstream platform is good for him because he's fringe (which is the entire point of the anger towards Kelly giving him this) and he doesn't care about how bad his stuff makes him sound because that's his whole schtick.

Its bad for Kelly. How bad remains to be seen but her show has tanked in the ratings so far and not only is this a PR mess for NBC but they've lost advertisers and gotten sued over it. Kelly probably will get more rope to hang herself but there's a lot less than she's used to on Fox.

He's leaking audio of private conversations he had with Megyn Kelly. It might be illegal to record her without her knowing or something (but we have no idea if she knew or didn't) but I don't see what NBC could sue over. He's not leaking stolen footage of his interview or something.
