Trump doesn’t just lie, he crowds out the truth. He isn’t just trying to win the argument, he is trying to dominate it. He wants to drive the coverage of the argument. That is why his response is to smear – he is trying to take back control of the storyline. He doesn’t have to win the argument, or even provide an explanation of his account. His strategy is to crowd out coverage of opposing views by forcing the media to cover his BS. No fair-minded person could look at what is coming out of the White House and see anything of value. Trump isn’t crafting believable lies or arguing his points legibly. He isn’t even good at convincing critics of his alternative facts, He just BSes.
Trump Jr. is just lying, he is not finessing, he just flat out lied about meeting and colluding with Russians for information about Clinton, and to talk about sanctions.
