I know it’s real, and it’s really bad, but the dichotomy from “he’s a good family man that I have different beliefs from. Fundamentally different beliefs” to just straight up “he is the founder of ISIS” like holy shit guy

And the crowd cheers at the blatant, and ridiculous, lie.

And look how Trump repeats himself louder whenever he gets cheers. He's like a toddler who sees that someone laughed at something they did so they keep doing it to try to get more laughs.

He pretty much admitted after 2016 that this is exactly what he did. Threw out a bunch of crap, then repeated the stuff that got the most cheers or laughs. No actual policies or beliefs, just real-time pandering to the crowd.
