Trump's Big CON: Baseless Accusations, Trump's "I’m Rubber, You’re Glue" Startegy

UPDATE:  If you follow Trump, you'll notice his tendency to reflex project, that is, accuse others of the flaws he is said to possesses.

For one example, read the Washington Post, Of course Trump called Comey a liar: That’s always been his strategy, which state:

"So Donald Trump is calling James Comey a liar.

This puts the fired FBI director in some impressive company. . .

Trump did not invent this strategy. I first encountered it on the playground of the Old Mill Road elementary school on Long Island in the 1970s: 'I’m rubber, you’re glue — whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.' Other kids used an endlessly entertaining variant: 'I know you are but what am I?'

There’s no doubt Trump’s rubber-and-glue strategy has worked. He is, after all, the president, and Crooked Hillary, Lyin’ Ted, Little Marco and Low-Energy Jeb are not. But can the man who has established himself as one of history’s most prodigious prevaricators convince the country that the former FBI director, celebrated for his integrity, is just another lying liar? Polls before and after Comey’s testimony suggest Trump is losing that contest.

After all, who are you going to believe? Trump? Or everybody else?"

The article lists "those Trump has accused of lying, via pronouncements, tweets and retweets".

And for some déjà vu all over again, watch the Washington Post, All the people Donald Trump insulted in 2015, a comprehensive list at least 68 people or groups that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump publicly insulted in 2015, "many of them multiple times":


Trump's modus operandi when criticized, "stir up new controversies to deflect attention from a damaging news cycle . .

[Invent a claim that] — if true — would be on the scale of crimes in politics we haven't seen in decades — or ever [and yet not backup the claim] with with even a shred of evidence." 

Read the Washington Post, Trump’s defense against Comey has fallen into a predictable pattern: Make a baseless accusation.
