2. We need to understand

We need to understand that a tyrant in waiting can say anything they want to and it is not deemed a lie by his loyalist followers.

He knows that. His show is about pushing that stuff out as a shock effect on one side and a dogma to the other. The basic point is to confuse and discredit everything as much as possible. That's how you slowly get a population ready for the final blow he intends to inflict on the country. We are being worked like a sideshow crowd with every tweet and false line he spews.

It is methodical and beyond any pathological lying. It is purposeful and it has a motivation to it. That's the thing to remember. Calling out the lies merely accentuates them, (I mean its okay, but) and underscores the Fascist strategy being effectively used to dismantle the system from news to social media to the functioning of government.
