They Went Crazy

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have built a campaign based on racist lies, conspiracy theories and dangerous accusations that are completely detached from reality.

For years GOP leadership has empowered Trump to lie about everything. Now the Trump-Vance campaign has resorted to making up crazy stories to distract from their falling poll numbers and unpopular policies. In recent interviews, Vance said, "I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention," and Trump strangely claimed the support of a non-existing debate audience who didn't like him being fact-checked by moderators, saying "And the audience was absolutely – they went crazy.”
