The reverse is also true.
Literally EVERY comment Trump makes should be followed up with "why would anyone trust anything you've said when you were so wrong about X"...
- hinkley 8y agoYeah the bold claims are only plausible if they are in a domain the persona has previously demonstrated competence in. If Aunt May tells me I have to use cold butter in grandma's cookie recipe, I'll absolutely believe her. But no matter how many times she corrects my baking, I'm never going to take her advice on dentistry or geopolitics.
