Lies, deception and sarcasm tell the Trump story

“There is a certain really, really, really dangerous way that Donald Trump has been gifted with the ability to tell a story—a story filled with lies, no truth in what he’s saying, filled with deception,” says Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle during this conversation with Joe Scarborough and NBC News correspondent Vaughn Hillyard about the former president’s campaign event in Davenport, Iowa. “This is a man who tried to overthrow the Constitution, to topple a government. And yet, he tells a story each and every time he’s at the podium, filled with sarcasm, meanness, humor; but, it’s there. It sets him apart and sets him up as the only individual that many of his followers would ever follow. How does that happen?”
