    Bush mostly operated under plausible deniability (we totally thought they had WMDs guys!)

    Trump operates off of his cult of personality, so being subtle about his lies isn’t really in his playbook. He does better when he bullies his followers into rejecting the truth outright.

      Also Bush’s people still stick to the lie. Heard Condoleezza Rice do something a while back and and she still says they had WMDs. They’ve committed to the lie. Trump just admits shit. I mean he’s straight I’ve already said he was guilty in this. He doesn’t even have to bother.

        Condoleezza “Oil Tanker” Rice still desires a respect she’ll never, ever get. She is bound by her contract with the devil to maintain the lie until she passes hereafter to her own hell loop.
