After watching the clip on TikTok, many people seemed to have a similar takeaway in the comments. As one TikToker put it: “he’s always been exactly who he is.”
“He’s been a lying, delusional conman his entire life,” another TikToker wrote.
“The press isn’t dishonest, HE is and that’s why he’s currently trying to suppress the press. 🙄🙄🙄,” said another user.
“If this interview happened in 2025 MAGA would blindly yell ‘fAkE nEwS!’” another TikTok pointed out.
“He’s always been a grifter,” echoed another user.
“He hates being called out by women, especially women in the press,” another user pointed out.
...
Not a single person can explain WHY people Trust such an obvious liar and deceiver, confidence man
Because of Russian Kremkin Information warfare against the population.
Even none of the people commenting “He’s been a lying, delusional conman his entire life" can explain why anti-goodness, self-harm of USA keeps working for him since 2013! Not a soul here can discuss mass mind manipulation, Russian information warfare.
“That unique Moscow mix of tackiness and menace. One time I see a poster advertising a new property development that captures the tone nicely. Got up in the style of Nazi propaganda, it shows two Germanic-looking youths against a glorious alpine mountain over the slogan "Life is Getting Better". It would be wrong to say the ad is humorous, but it's not quite serious either. It's sort of both. It's saying this is the society we live in (a dictatorship), but we're just playing at it (we can make jokes about it), but playing in a serious way (we're making money playing it and won't let anyone subvert its rules).”
