Truth Social Users Have Finally Grown Tired Of Trump's Constant Lies - Ring of Fire



Apparently everyone has a breaking point, and Donald Trump is finding out very quickly that he can't just lie with impunity to his base all the time and get away with it. Truth Social users revolted against the former president this week over his countless lies about "knowing nothing" about Project 2025, and they called him out for his continued denial of knowledge. If these people aren't buying his lies anymore, then there's no way he can hoodwink independent voters, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

====================

*This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos.

Polls this week have found that the more people learn about Project 2025, the less they like it. And the polls also found that a majority of Americans are now aware of Project 2025, and a majority of them absolutely hate it, which is why it was especially, uh, damning for the Trump campaign this week when Word came out that D Vance, in fact wrote the fore for the Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts new book where he talks about Project 2025. And not to mention there's the video from 2022 of Donald Trump praising the Heritage Foundation, uh, for quote, this is a great group and they're going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America. So at this point, it is crystal clear that Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are well aware of Project 2025.

They know what's in it and they wholeheartedly endorse it because they have both endorsed it. But that hasn't stopped Trump from twice this week trying to deny any knowledge of, of, uh, uh, project 2025. He said in his rally this past weekend, he knows nothing about it. But then he got on social media on Wednesday and posted this on truth social, I have nothing to do with and know nothing about Project 2025. The fact that I do is merely disinformation put out by the radical left Democrat thugs do not believe them. What about you? Should we believe you? Because the fact that I do is what you said in there, which means you do know about it. Not to mention there's video of you from 2022, okay? It's not just a quote that somebody, you know, wrote down in a paper. It's an actual video.

You're on camera talking about it, and you're telling us to not believe what we see with our eyes. But you know what folks? Everybody has a breaking point, right? And at this moment, we are seeing the breaking point of Donald Trump's own followers on truth social because they are sick and tired of him lying to their faces. And of course, the implied disrespect that comes along with it. So when Trump put out this statement on truth social saying, I know nothing about it, it's all lies. His own followers, his own supporters called him out on it. Let me read you some of these responses as curated by raw story. Yet so many of your former staff members are part of the Heritage Foundation, you know, good and well, that project 2025 is not only MAGA fueled, it is also hugely unpopular with Americans Have the Day You Deserve. Uh, another one said, Donald, you are a effing liar. Another one said, uh, you and your cronies are political actors. You say whatever you need to say to get the reaction and praise from the sheep will, but I got news for you. People are waking up. We won't go quietly back to the sixties. You will not strip everyone of their right to be a human. Another one said, forgotten heaven's sake. There's a freaking

Video of you speaking to them and telling them they were doing a good job. And then yet another one said, you may have nothing to do with and know nothing about Project 25, but the pigs around you will use you to implement Project 25. That evil cabal knows how to use you. You being a bumbling idiot who's only exercises eating hamburgers, a, a Diet Coke. Some of those were obviously from people who do not like Trump. Some of them were definitely from people who do like Trump. But if Donald Trump can't even pull the wool over his own supporter's eyes any anymore, do you think he's gonna be able to do it to the average, moderate, independent voter out there in this country? Hell no.
