He’s just lying dude. There’s nothing to be that shocked about. I figure a Brookings economist would be familiar with these things. Maybe not since neoliberals seem to have some sort of massive aversion to ever contemplating material reasons for these things.
And he lies because it works. There’s an absolutely absurd percentage of Americans - a majority, if I’m not feeling generous - who believe the crap he spews, no matter how untethered from reality and easily disprovable it is.
Trump will do anything to get what he wants, and sometimes - rarely - that includes telling the truth. But he lies most often because his audience loves being lied to.
It’s not that - it’s that the corporate news sewers have been told they’re not to say that. At some point that strategy will break, and it will do so through comments like these.
It’s not that he can’t believe trump is lying, it’s that he can’t believe everyone isn’t saying that ALL THE TIME. And since it’s his turn to talk, that’s how he said it.
