From Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged:
One of Trump’s “quirks”, to call it something a bit milder than “pathology”, is to claim that anything negative about himself is fake news. It works for his supporters, obviously. It works for Trump because, even if one was inclined to believe rather a lot of negative information, he has thrown out that seed of doubt. Are all negative stories true? Aren’t some stories lies? Couldn’t this one be a lie, too? So when presented with another credible accuser, he claims it’s fake news. Women say horrible things about him because they get paid.
The problem with claiming fake news all the time though, is that the reverse is also true–is it likely that all these stories are actually fake? Can he produce receipts regarding the payment of these women? Does he want that investigated, or has he never considered putting that theory to the test? And doesn’t it seem a little odd in light of his apparently paying women not to talk about consensual relations he had with them?
