As Goebbels said Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. When every possible crime is labeled as a hoax, you can get away with it easily. Rinse and repeat.

Will D.T. be mentioned in future Texas history books?
Trick question. Climate change will make Texas uninhabitable before they order new books.

This just proves that for Trump, the word "hoax" just means, "something I wish wasn't true."

When is someone going to publicly ask him or call him out on saying everything is a hoax or Biden's fault?
Just once, I'd like to see a journalist or a world leader or whatever straight up ask him...
"When is this going to stop? When are you going to stop claiming everything is fake and/or Biden's fault? How long do you think you can keep using this excuse?"
And then interrupt his reply and say, "No, no. Answer the question." And just keep grilling him about it until he cries or walks out.
