43. My experience has consistently been that Trump voters lie.

You just can't believe anything they say. They'll lie about anything, no matter how ridiculous, no matter how obvious the lie, and the other Trumpers in their lives will bob their heads up and down and pretend to believe them.

I love how in that story, "they rode the rebound off the 500 point swing, sold, and won't ever have to worry about money again." 500 points is less than a 2%.gain. Some people are awfully gullible - or they think we are.
