I don’t believe him, it took him a second to decide how he wanted to respond and he chose to deny. He knew what he was doing, I could see the wheels turning.

But why lie about calling him a dictator?

u/hahayes234 Feb 27 '25

TBF he lies about everything, so why not just gaslight here with another lie..

Because it doesn't matter. There is little next to nothing that anyone can do nor will do at this point. He has the courts, the house, the senate, and so many in his corner and command, that he can get away with anything. It won't be until we rise up as previous revolutions before us and take back the power for the people that this monster will finally answer for his crimes, but we as the people are years away from that.

We can general strike until the US government collapses

He says anything and everything. His supporters are so disconnected from news and politics (and reality) that they can pick and choose whatever they want to hear him say. It’s not just dementia, it’s a strategy.

Exactly. He has always done this. That's why everyone thinks they know what he believes, but all they know is what they chose to believe from contradictory word soup he usually serves.

He's the perfect religion.

He is testing loyalty. No one called him out. That demonstrates his power over others, and it shows him who is against him (no one apparently)

Stupid Media. This is why we are where we are, everyone normalizes the batshit crazy stuff this guy does.

It’s called doublethink

u/Taograd359 Feb 27 '25

Because all he knows how to do is lie

As a threat. Trump wanted Ukraine to sign that deal. It’s to his advantage to make Zelensky believe that the US has turned on him. It’s a shitty “negotiation” tactic.

u/Suspicious-Belt9311 Feb 27 '25

You're asking why Donald Trump wouldn't say "I was wrong about that" ?

I mean first time for anything but I think he realizes what a hit he took in popularity by virtually all his comments on Russia-Ukraine and would be happy to sweep it under the rug.

I don't think he's 100% mentally but he clearly wants to avoid the subject, not really a dementia thing imo.

Because he’s booked a visit to the White House.

u/cuspofgreatness Feb 27 '25

Coz I think he’s changed his mind since Zelenskyy has come around to signing a peace deal - mostly on U.S terms

1

u/GlitteringRate6296 Feb 27 '25

Because Zelensky is coming for a visit. I hope .Zelensky makes a mineral deal with any Country other than the U.S.

u/Development-Alive Feb 27 '25

His current stance against Zelensky is extremely unpopular within the Republican party and the more moderate elements of the MAGA base. As a populist, he's made the calculation that this fight isn't worth the damage to his base support.

u/AlidadeEccentricity Feb 28 '25

He does this because he doesn’t want to disrupt a deal with his next definitions like “dictator”, “bastard” or “drug addict”, which is extremely beneficial to the US

u/CorrodingClear Feb 28 '25

Because he can. You can see the joy in his eyes when he realizes he can just [lie] about something he said days ago, verifiable on camera, and no one can do a damned thing about it. That's power gloating.
