1) Don't blame someone else
After being called out about his outrageous claim that Obama tapped his phones during the 2016 campaign, Trump blamed Fox News for his information.

Fox responded that they know “of no evidence of any kind that the now-president of the United States was surveilled at any time, any way.”

2) Don’t Fall for the Sunk-Cost Fallacy and continue the lie even after being caught
It’s the tendency to keep going down the same path because you just can’t let go of the time or effort you’ve already wasted on something.

also, they mistakenly think the backlash of admitting they’re wrong will be worse than the consequences of holding onto the mistake.

3) Don’t Get Defensive


All of those make you look dumb, deceitful, and untrustworthy.

What to do instead:
Own up to the lie (Duh!)
-People will have more respect for you if you admit it

The difference between when trump lies and your average Joe lies, is that when trump lies he has a following that is not only willing to forgive and forget but that will defend him at all costs.

In a way, trump supporters are like a battered wife that sticks by their husband.

and they will go to their graves supporting the batterer.

BTW - All you Trump supporters, what are you telling your kids? Lie like Trump

Or...
Get what you want by any means necessary.

Well I'm in favor of giving Trump a chance.......to further shove those very expensive shoes he wears that much farther down his throat as he shoves his head further up his ass.

Now that takes a special kind of talent that only a guy like Trump can manage to do. And seeing as if he's showing us how talented he really is whenever he unleashes those self-inflicting tweet tornadoes on himself and his hapless party, well, I say let's give him all the chances he deserves.

they don't just forgive and forget. they believe the lie as passionately as anyone could.

Ironically, Trump got hired in large part because of the lies and deception of the Democrats. Would seem easier to just tell the truth, but both sides pander for votes.

dont matter, we live in a post fact world.

Regarding #1, Fox has evaluated the situation and realizes that supporting wiretap allegations is suicidal. Although I don't believe that Obama will hold anyone legally accountable there is the possibility and they do not want to participate in a very very nasty situation.

IMO Obama will not sue and is probably giving high fives to just about everyone over this. He keeps back and does not engage and wins bigly because Trump has finally caught himself in a trap from which there is apparently no escape. When it's all over Obama writes a book and $$$$ follows. Meanwhile Trump looks even worse.

Did anyone from Fox claim or suggest that he had been tapped? That's what's relevant to whether or not he had relied on Fox "for his information," not whether Fox had evidence. Whether or not he should have relied on Fox news for anything also isn't relevant to this point. There's a difference between having evidence of a claim and claiming something. I mean, really; this isn't (tippy toppy) rocket science.

Judge Napolitano said Fox had three sources. BTW - He has now been taken off the air.

I was just responding with Napolitano too. Trump passed the blame to Fox on which he apparently relies for his "intel" by his references. I hope he doesn't find a printed version of The Onion.

And to think Trump once considered Judge Napolitano for the Supreme court. And here is the judge's past history.

Link

1. Said, regarding the right to vote, that “the Supreme Court has wrongly said it’s a fundamental right.”
2. Likened Roe v. Wade to slavery and the Holocaust.
3. Told conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that the September 11 attacks “couldn’t possibly have been done the way the government told us.”
4. Argued that the Constitution “does not authorize the federal government” to own land.
5. Claimed that euthanasia was included in the “contraceptive services” coverage mandated under the Affordable Care Act.
6. Urged Republicans in Congress to impeach President Obama.
7. Stated that “more guns equals less crime” and claimed that Obama was trying to ban guns.
8. Criticized Abraham Lincoln for his role in the Civil War, lamenting that Lincoln launched a “murderous war” instead of simply buying the freedom of every enslaved person, and insisting that the South actually seceded over tariffs.
9. Pushed the debunked conspiracy theory that Google suppressed “the bad stuff” about Hillary Clinton.
10. Suggested that the Obama administration was bent on creating a one-world government with total control.

Trump is an 8 year-old pretending to be 70. He never matured beyond whatever Piaget stage of cognitive development where normal human individuals begin to understand (empathize with) the consequences of their actions. His co-dependents are the same. Just watch them post here: bunch of babies, the lot of them.

My ten year old learned all these things a while ago.
