I never cease to be amazed at his ability to make shit up.

At this point, it seems like the responsible thing to do is completely ignore him and his cronies and only mention things if they are actually factual.

To make this work, however, we'd have to systematically take off the air/print/Interwebs anyone who reported or treated any of his lies as a truth. Otherwise his base still gets to live in their bubble.

Interestingly, he has said he's abandoned Faux Newts for reporting "inaccurate and fake news polls", and is taking his custom elsewhere.  It'll be interesting to see how this trickles down to his still insanely loyal but somewhat diminishing base.

Well, if the merest whiff of reality intruding is enough to get him to abandon his most devoted base, there won't be anyone who can keep up the necessary illusions and stop the intrusion of the truths, even if he thinks they're not very noble.

It certainly explains why he wants to do rallies now and very specifically do rallies that ignore the reality of a virus that infects people in proximity to each other.
