Trump is a one trick pony: Lie
It's worked for Trump all his life, and now the reactionary GOP is eager for a destructive liar.
1/ Look how well it has worked in the past.
Trump spread the lie that Obama was born in Africa. As of 2016, when the lie had been thoroughly debunked, polls showed that 72% of registered Republicans still doubted Obama’s citizenship.

2/ Trump ran for president as a successful business man when he was a failed businessman who obtained wealth by lying, cheating, and laundering dirty Russian money.
Trump isn’t going to stop now because he literally doesn’t know anything else to do.

3/ If Biden is the nominee, Trump’s reelection strategy will come down to “but Hunter Biden did it.”
(Operation Ukrainian Shakedown was a plot to give credence to the lie by making it appear to have originated with a foreign prosecutor.)
After all, "her emails" worked.

4/ Someone suggested Trump will stop lying about coronavirus when someone tells him his own base will get sick and won’t be able to vote for him.’
Nope, he’ll just tell them they have a disease brought across the border by illegal aliens, and they’ll [pretend to] believe it.

5/ For new followers, see this thread on why Trump supporters believe [or pretend to believe] all of his lies⤵️
Spoiler: They know the lies destroy and they want to destroy.

6/ Also see⤵️ for why Trump doesn't care if he hurts his own supporters, and in fact, tries to hurt them:
#coronaflu doesn’t fall neatly under the Sadopopulism umbrella because the illness won’t stay contained to the poor . . .

7/ . . . . Sadopopulism means hurting the poor by means which also empower the rich, like tax cuts for the wealthy and eliminating affordable healthcare.
Dealing with #coronaflu" is literally beyond the capability of a fascist leader, who can only deal with manufactured crises.

8/ Again for new followers, see recent thread on how leaders like Trump have no idea how to manage a “real” crisis, or in fact, any real situation:
#coronaflu is real. So Trump is literally over his head.
