I can't compete with the young guys but I hold my own against my peers", nobody would have much to say. Of course, that's not the Trump way.
Trump lies about tiny insignificant things all the times, including stuff that can be objectively measured, assessed, and used against his claims.
that can make you hate him, but for me that's refreshing, because I don't incur the risk of ever take him for his word outside of the very few things he kept stable through life (like a love for low interest rates, and tariffs) . Other people are better at lying (and all politicians are evil and self interested) , they di it much more sparingly, they mix truth and lies and so on, so i risk trusting them and then get stabbed in the back.
It's also more time consuming to debunk their claims
no such risk with trump, you treat him the way we should treat ANYONR we give power to: a deep mistrust predicated on inherent evil and self interest which are common qualities of top politicians (can't basically win elections if you are a good guy, the way the game is played)
