Stephanie Grisham excoriates ex-president at Democratic convention and says ‘he has no empathy, no morals’

Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers. On a hospital visit one time when people were dying in the ICU, he was mad that the cameras were not watching him.”

She continued: “He used to tell me: ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough and people will believe you.’”

She repeated a story she has told before: that during the January 6 insurrection, she asked Melania Trump whether she could tweet that there was “no place for lawlessness or violence”, and the first lady gave a one-word reply: “No.”

    Damn and I thought I’d never be able to agree with the man.

    Also, the thing he said, “It doesn’t matter what you say, say it enough and people will believe you.”

    This is true! They’ve done studies on propaganda and the determining factor on whether or not people believed it is usually volume. If you perceive a lot of social pressure to change your beliefs to fit into a group you want to be a part of, you’re more likely to change your beliefs. So yah know, keep churning out those leftie memes and content!!

      It is also exactly how advertisement works - even on people who are *not affected by it at all"

      You have just seen coca cola logo for a millionth time and no matter what factual information you may find about the company, it is still “coca cola vs some random noname”.
