Is Trump is lying about Hillary,why do people believe it?

Okay, let’s be brutally honest about one thing. Donald Trump is a serial liar. Hardly a day goes by without the Republican candidate coming up with absurd ideas or claims that are bound to rile up his opponent, Democrat Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Earlier this June, Trump delivered a grand speech at his SoHo New York Hotel where the main theme was what’s at stake in the elections.He criticized Clinton for being crooked and stated that the former Secretary of State’s failed policies and bad judgment should rule her out of the running for the U.S. President.

In recent weeks, Trump’s popularity has gone down a few notches, and with many reports suggesting that his election campaign is in immediate financial danger, the billionaire is looking to reclaim the media by hammering his rival with attacks that are loosely based on a bogus Clinton tell-all book, “Clinton Cash.” During his speech, Trump quoted part of the book that claims Clinton failed to block the Russian acquisition of American uranium mines after the Kremlin made a donation to the Clinton Foundation. Trump alleges that Clinton’s role as the Secretary of State at the time allowed her to make money through this deal.

Another reference was taken out of yet another shady book, written by a low-level U.S. Secret Service agent who described Clinton as erratic and violent. Taking the words out of the book and using them as cannon fodder, Trump has stayed true to his mantra of “exposing” Clinton’s lies and calling her unfit for the presidency.

“Clinton has spent her entire life making money for special interests,” said Trump in another shocking attempt to discredit Clinton, “and I will tell you, she has made plenty of money for them, and she has been taking plenty of money out for herself.”

Although the former Secretary of State has some explaining to do regarding her activities with Wall Street, she has not spent her entire career on making money. The former First Lady worked for the Children’s Defense Fund and as a lawyer for the House impeachment inquiry against President Richard Nixon.

On the other hand, it should be noted that Trump is unlike any presidential candidate you’ve ever seen. He’s not a politician but an agent provocateur who doesn’t hold to the same standards as the likes of Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or Ted Cruz.

Moreover, it is pretty much a social construct that people value truth less than reinforcement. Each of us has the potential to reformulate misguided statements into truth, even in the face of opposing facts, which is why it has been so easy for Trump to literally sell his lies.

Another reason Trump will continue to make misguided and irrational statements about Hillary is that his ratings are based on infotainment. Truth matters, but it cannot replace the sheer value of entertainment —for evidence, look no further than Walter Winchell.
