The article reflects on the deceptive nature of Donald Trump’s rhetoric, likening him to a carnival barker enticing crowds with empty promises and outrageous claims. The author argues that Trump consistently lies about significant issues, from immigration to the pandemic, capturing the attention and votes of his audience. The metaphor of carnival sideshows suggests that people are drawn to the spectacle, only to find that the reality is a distorted reflection of their expectations, revealing the hollowness of Trump's claims and the allure of misinformation.
Donald J. Trump never utters an honest word. He lies about everything, even things that are trivial, that matter to no one, least of all to him.
And the more outrageous the lies he told, the more mesmerized his audience became... They paid to go into the tent to see the freaks, and inside all they found was a mirror.
