The book's author discussed Donald Trump's frequent lying and how it affected the Republican Party and its embrace of the 'big lie' surrounding the 2020 election, and how this culture of lies has become the foundation of the party.

"

The power of repetition is indeed a key part of this Joe and that's something we saw from Donald Trump right away back in 2015 2016 he's a master brand or remember he certainly was not not shy about lying about his resume about himself about what he'll do in the Oval Office etc.

And that continued while he was in office and so much of it ended up not being true a deliberate untruth because as you say trying to confuse the viewer confuse the listener.

It's the strategy that he and his team took during the Mueller investigation where they would just throw things up against the wall to try to muddy the picture to try to confuse people so they wouldn't get a clear sense of what was going on.

And that continued of course hitting its pinnacle during the 2020 election which is what my book is about and how he tried to lie and and distort the truth by throwing so much out there so much of it nonsense and to your point it wasn't so much that he wanted the people to hear it to believe one particular lie it just there'd be so many lies they couldn't figure out what the truth is and they would just dismiss all of it they would just say well none of this can be true.

Talk about how. Talk about Santos Trump's 30,000 plus lies the big line how it all feeds in together for this Trump Republican Party.
