@wdlindsy Glad I could clarify. As with any habitual liar, we'd be wise to look almost exclusively at what he *does* because what he says is (to put it generously) unreliable.
The only real exception I can think of is when he does his stochastic terrorism schtick where he dances right up to the edge of calling for violence. I'd love news organizations to report more on that and less on the stuff that we can easily dismiss as deception. For some reason that's not where they're looking, though, even after all we've seen.
