Lies As The Newly-Fabricated Gold Standard For "Truth"

Trump And The Truth: His Charitable Giving
Trump is observing this Independence Day by throwing another one of his infantile distemper tantrums. This one comes in a burst of petulant rage that has surely been aggravated by the accumulating evidence of his criminality being presented by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection that he incited.

The multi-post tirade that Trump hammered out on his Twitter clone website, TRUTH Social (that is both failing financially and flailing legally), was rife with his tediously repetitious whining and insults stemming from his delusions of victimhood. If nothing else, Trump has affirmed his place in history as America's biggest crybaby.
The rants that Trump posted cover a narrow range of topics mainly devoted to his "Big Lie" that the 2020 presidential election was 'rigged" and "stolen" from him. Never mind that after 20 months, and sixty court challenges, he has failed to produce a shred of evidence. What follows are some of his key points, with reality-based annotations:
Trump began by assailing the Republican vice-chair of the Committee as "despicable human being Liz Cheney." As usual, he is incapable of factually rebutting anything that she has said, so he resorts to childish name-calling.
He complained that "HER Fake Unselect Committee may recommend CRIMINAL CHARGES against" him. If he really believes the Committee is "fake," then why is he so worried about the charges?
He repeated his ridiculous boast that he "got more votes than any sitting President." So what? He also got fewer votes than Joe Biden. You know, the winner. And both candidates got large vote totals because the population - and the electorate - are bigger.
He's thinks the Committee should "press charges instead against those that cheated on the Election." They would if that weren't a figment of his perverse imagination. He's tried dozens of times to assert his cheating claim in court. And he lost every case, even those with Republican judges.
Returning to his name-calling, Trump lashed out at "the highly partisan Unselect Committee of political Thugs." Of course, the Committee has two very conservative Republicans. Although there is a partisan aspect to the witnesses who have testified against him. They are all Republicans.
Naturally, he had to unleash his objections to the "Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax # 2, the 'No Collusion' Mueller Report and, overall, the GREATEST WITCH HUNT IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA." True to form, everything that Trump doesn't like is either a hoax or a witch hunt.
He wants the Committee to "go after the people who have been rioting." That's exactly what the Department of Justice is doing. In fact, some 800 of them them have already been arrested for storming Congress and trying to overthrow the government, at Trump's behest.
Then he adds "No, let’s get 'Trump'!" Don't worry, Donald, they'll get around to you. Also, why do you put your own name in quotes, as if it's a fictional reference?
Finally, Trump says that "none of these terrible events would have happened if I were President!!!" First of all, it's good to see him admit that he is not president. But it's preposterous for him to claim that the events he's griping about, most of which he is responsible for, wouldn't have happened were he still occupying the White House. And he was responsible for many other horrendous events when he was there as well.
And that was Trump's 4th of July message to America. That was what his glassy-eyed cult disciples regard as a patriotic address
Actually, I do not understand your (and others') obsession with Trump. He is not the president.
I am not focused on "Trump's insults" and I'm not proclaiming innocence when it comes to his "offenses." They do not concern me
What I DO know is that before Biden took over, we could afford gasoline, our grocery shelves were fully stocked, and the border area around here was relatively safe.
What I AM concerned about is what has happened to us under Biden.
That is my focus.

Dear Elaine,It happens to be true.Not always.But most often.If you need to hermetically seal yourself in the self-certain conviction that Trump exemplifies the "fruits of the spirit," so be it.Even so, you happen to be wrong.It would be useful to me -- and it would be useful to you -- if you were to engage me in argument, citing specific reasons why I am wrong, rather than draping yourself in a mantle of offended innocence.Notably, you (and most other Trump followers) have no difficulty forgiving Trump every one of his insults, even though his insults are legion and without foundation.

While many are focused intently on preventing Trump from running again, they seem unconcerned about the Biden ties with Ukraine and Russia.
Oh well. :)

Dear ElaineThanks for your reply.Yes, many people attest to Donald Trump's personal generosity.But many more attest to having been ripped off by him.Innumerably more.These ripoffs have been so substantial that the ex-President offered to pay a settlement of tens of millions of dollars (far more than the total contribution of his personal generosity) in order to avoid felony charges that would have ruined his 2015 presidential campaign, and quite likely put him in prison (as would have happened with you or me).You can read about this one small component of Donald Trump's criminality at the following link:Donald Trump, Felon: Re-Visiting Trump University
One of the things that Fred and I learned at the University of Toronto was the indispensable role played by examining reality in rich contextualization with as few ideological blinders as possible.In fact, "the fullness of truth" only emerges when embedded in rich contextualization."Cherry-picking" uncontextualized "shards" of truth is a certain path to self-deception.It is Trump's unprecedented mastery of decontextualizing "miniscule, deliberately broken fragments of Truth" that has enabled this world-class liar to deceive tens of millions of people.Even so, it is possible to immunize oneself against charlatans like Trump.However, prophylaxis requires time, energy and dedication.Here are several essays I wrote that can help people escape Trump's Epistemological Trap.How Do We Know What We Think We Know?

Wishing you all good things,Alan

Dear Elaine,Thanks for reminding me of the gifts of the spirit.I am convinced in my heart, soul, mind, body and intuition that Donald Trump does not embody a single one of these gifts.Not one.Not even slightly.Am I missing something?I hope you're having a great day in The Lone Star State!Alan
