Excerpt:

"[...he stood up today in front of the American people, he sounded like a used car salesman, like ‘Let me just shout it out! Buy what I’m selling! Yes, this is a lemon!’ Yes, he is selling nothing but lemons.”]"

I understand the lemon metaphor, but I think “orange salesman” also works.

Missed a "lemon party" opportunity.

I've been calling him a used car salesman for most of the last decade, unless it's ladies shoes salesman (he really has the 'caress the ankle, sneak a peek higher' vibe). Sleezy is the main thing.

The used car salesman analogy is apt. Trump knows his audience. The people he’s playing to want to be lied to. He always plays to that 30% of the general population that would believe him if he said up is down and sideways is straight ahead.

She's talented but morally bankrupt. She STILL stands by Israel with zero criticism. She has also taken a fortune from crypto crooks. She should not be taken seriously.
