    There seems to be a long established pattern where Trump daydreams about irrefutable and overwhelming exoneration and then decides it should be true and tells everyone about it. Narcissists have a tendency to create shitstorms and then daydream about escapist fantasies to evade the consequences they always create for themselves.

      It’s a proven pattern as well - the braindead followers see him tweet the words ‘REPORT’ and ‘EXONERATION’ and they assume it’s a a done deal and don’t bother to follow up to verify the actual evidence.

      If it was Putin I’d say it’s probably an intentional strategy, but with Trump it’s probably more lizard brain instinct gained from his years of grifting.

        I mean, it’s your classic real estate sales person. You’ll say and do anything to make the sale, and afterwards you try to weasel out of your fancy promises.

          Normally with a state agency it all comes tumbling down the moment you actually view the property.

          Oh I see, so when you said picturesque what you meant was microscopic and when you said a lively night life what you meant was it’s in the middle of a gang turf war.

            But when you’re selling a building that’s yet to be built, people hand you money without you having to show anything. It’s why developers are such scumbags.
