Pay Attention When Trump Says 'Believe Me'



Nov 3, 2017
In a new interview, President Donald Trump says "believe me" that he's not involved in any collusion, nor is he under investigation. Lawrence O'Donnell argues that the President frequently says "believe me" when he’s not telling the truth.

I may have said something like that before but that had more to do with outright denial Im telling the truth but at the end of the day I take comfort in knowing the truth never changes whether anyone knows it or not.

I have seen others say “believe me” in the same way that Trump does.

He does it in a way to imply that you shouldn’t look into this any further or form your own thoughts. It isn’t said from a point of conviction about his own beliefs but rather as an attempt to shut down thought and discussion.

I have seen many others do the same. And they are never to be believed.

because from what I have seen that is pretty rare. easier to assume everything is a lie, since it most likely is.
