Trump’s style of lying needs a grain of truth to build off of with insinuation. Making things up out of whole cloth is harder to sell.
Same reason he tried to extort Ukraine into opening an investigation into Hunter and Joe Biden. That kernel of truth—eg an investigation exists—adds credibility.

@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social It's more that he blabbers about some random thing that he heard on Fox News, that he barely remembers, and then he lets everybody else fill in the blank of interpretation.
You make it sound intentional or premeditated. It's not. When you listen to Fox News and then you compare it with what he says you can see exactly what he's referring to, he just doesn't bother remembering the story enough to lay it out well.
Trump's just not that with it.
