All he has to say is that it isn't authentic and like the mindless group that makes up his base they automatically believe it.

He makes you feel you are crazy for thinking it was his voice. His delusions or his device. Don't go in there, IMHO.

It has been reported that when Trump tells a story, and gets corrected because he got it wrong, then he tells the wrong story again next time and totally ignores that it's wrong.

For Trump, truth and fact are what he wants truth and fact to be at a given moment.

If you are a right-wing Republican, you will believe anything the Dotard in Chief says. And there you have it.
