@mattyglesias Right now I'm imagining him discovering bodies of people killed this year, like at the end of season 4 of The Wire.

@mattyglesias Claim things are much more terrible than they are. Do nothing. Release real numbers. Take credit.

@mattyglesias Same with AWFUL ECONOMY.

@mattyglesias Honestly, everyone needs to reread 1984 stat. The sugar ration has been increased!

@mattyglesias same with unemployment rate and general American "greatness"

@mattyglesias @SopanDeb I agree. His supporters have shown themselves to be very dumb and gullible.

@mattyglesias @SopanDeb correct. same re unemployment rate. that's why he peddles falsehoods, so he can take credit for reality.

@mattyglesias Or he is dealing with a massive crime wave.

@mattyglesias same goes for economic stats and everything else he's "fixing"

@mattyglesias is OK, then I'll claim the numbers are rigged and manipulated by Crooked Donald

@mattyglesias @SopanDeb It's the big lie....over and over. His playbook has never changed...

@mattyglesias When I speak to a Trump supporter, I find they completely believe his lies on the murder rate. It is hard to change their POV.

@mattyglesias Time for somebody to check under the hood for loose wires.

@mattyglesias @sopandeb. True. He will have a harder time with the unemployment numbers though.

@mattyglesias black men at 6% of the population are responsible for 52% of ALL national homicides. can we start there?
