It’s the truth according to Trump. Believe it.
But Trump has something more powerful to him than any evidence, no matter how compelling: He believes. Firmly.
.. But what about all the credible people saying it didn’t happen? “I think the president firmly believes that it did.”
.. The Trump White House is the ultimate faith-based initiative — and The Donald is the deity. Things aren’t true because they can be proven via the scientific method or any other. They are true because Trump believes them to be true.
.. His fabricated claim that 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally, causing him to lose the popular vote? “It was a comment that he made on a long-standing belief,”
.. Trump asked listeners to “believe me” seven times in a single speech last month, saying, “I will never, ever disappoint you. Believe me.”
.. The courts may have struck down Trump’s first travel ban, but it’s legal because “we believe” it is.
.. “You said the president believes that there was voter fraud,” Spicer was asked at one news briefing. “I wonder if you believe that?”
Spicer explained that saying so wasn’t “my job” and that Trump “believes what he believes based on the information that he’s provided.”
