Caught on a hot mike detailing how he manipulates King Baby:
"“I have a 40-year record of being able to convince the big man to do what’s in his best interest. He’s not easy to deal with. It’s complicated,” Stone said. “He resents any implication that he is handled or managed or directed.”
Stone then details a hypothetical situation where he—serving as an adviser—might be able to plant an idea inside Trump’s head.
“You have to say, ‘Remember that night when we were in Buffalo. And you gave that speech, and God, it had to be 10,000 people, the biggest crowd they’d ever seen. And you said XYZ, and the place went crazy, remember that? I don’t know where you came up with that line, but it’s one of the best things.’”
Stone then theorized how Trump might respond to the lie.
“Yeah, I’m going to use that one again,” Stone said, playing the part of Trump.
The longtime Trump ally claimed he had used the tactic for decades.
“Doesn’t fucking matter that he never said it—doesn’t matter,” Stone said. “It’s time-consuming, but it works. I did it for 30 years.”"
^^^ The truth always comes out eventually!
