If you listen to him long enough -- no easy chore -- Donald Trump will tell you all his secrets.
Witness this line from his July 3 speech in Sarasota, Florida:
"If you say it enough and keep saying it, they'll start to believe you."
Trump was talking about alleged disinformation directed at him and other Republicans.
But WOW does that quote explain everything you need to know about his approach to the presidency and life.
(Sidebar: One can only hope that Trump was unaware that his quote was a near-replication of this infamous line from Nazi Joseph Goebbels: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.")
To take advantage of trust people put in you -- as well as their narrow news diet -- is, of course, deeply irresponsible.
And the opposite of what it means to be a leader.
Unfortunately, Trump's blueprint works.
Look at all the idiot zealots that still follow him.
How do we combat that?
