The people who fall for his bullshit are even dumber than he is. His one talent is hypnotizing stupid people with the way he talks. Which he has in common with a certain failed painter from Austria, incidentally.

Excuse you, the painter was able to form several coherent sentences in a row.

It works on me, that's why I tell people to speed him up when the magas in their lives don't understand what a con man he is. If you put him on 1.5x speed, that's usually enough to break the spell.

Ways to give you brain cancer 1.5x faster.

Any rally or remarks in full. This one isn't bad. You can see his "weave" more clearly when you speed it up.

I love how he's saying that we're giving money to feed the people in Gaza and it's not going towards weapons. I think part of schtick is that he doesn't believe anything, he just spouts whatever the fucks he wants. That way, there are no tells to him lying, because he isn't really.

The smartest thing he's done is to get people not to check facts with other news orginazations. He lies so sincerely that if you believe him, his lies somehow make sense?
