Trump's Denialism
Locked and loaded with lies Trump denies, denies, denies
Trump has only himself to blame that Stormy Daniels had the opportunity to tell all the details of their encounter. He simply had to repeat the lie that they never met, never had sex, never received a payoff to stay quiet. And so then we get to hear way more than we ever wanted to know about Trump in bed. But the denialism of his crimes goes so much further. He denies global warming, denies the charges that got him impeached (and just a few votes short of conviction), he denies the Constitution specifically limits the powers of the president, denies the rights of women to make their own decisions about abortion, denies that he is delusional, the very model of toxic narcissism. He denies that the nation was founded on religious tolerance and aligns himself with right-wing Christian evangelicals who apparently have no problem supporting a liar, cheat and scoundrel.
