8:51Now PlayingDonald Trump just can’t stop himself from lying all of the time, even about things that don’t matter. This week, a reporter asked him a simple question about what he’s doing to prep for his upcoming debate against Kamala Harris, and he replied that he’s not really doing anything to prep for the debate. But his campaign had already previously confirmed that they had pulled in Tulsi Gabbard to help with his prep, so we know that he’s just lying to make himself look tough and not like the scared little boy that he is. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

It doesn't matter what the situation is, what question he is asked, who he's dealing with, Donald Trump is gonna lie. And we got a taste of that earlier this week when Donald Trump was in Detroit, Michigan this week. Uh, he was asked by a reporter, easy question, right? How are you specifically preparing to debate Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee? That's the question. Like, how are you specifically prepping for this debate that at this point may or may not happen because Donald Trump wants to chicken out of it. But it's a pretty straight up thing, right? And it's common for politicians, like, Hey, you gotta debate that as of this moment is still technically on the books. What are you doing for it? And rather than explaining how he's preparing tough guy, Donald Trump wanted to act like preparing, oh God, I'm too smart to prepare. And he said this, I'm not really, I'm not, I'm not spending a lot of time on it. I think my whole life I've been preparing for a debate. Basically. You have to be real. You can't cram 30 years of knowledge in your head in one week, there's a little debate prep, but I've always done it more or less the same way. You, you have to know your subject, and I think I know it better than anybody.
Now that's a lie. I mean, everything he said there was in fact a lie. And I will get more in just a moment into how big of a lie it is and how we know it's a lie. But then Trump said, you can have all sorts of sessions. I, I watched Mitt Romney go in. He worked so hard, he locked himself in a log cabin for four weeks and he developed lock jaw. He couldn't speak, um, no, for the record, MIT Romney did not in fact develop lock jaw. Uh, that simply didn't happen. He just wasn't that good of a debater against Barack Obama, who, let's face it, is pretty fricking good at it. But then to back up, Donald Trump's lie that he's not preparing at all his spokesperson. Stephen Chung of course, said this as President Trump said, he's been preparing all his life and he regularly interacts with the press, which is a form of getting ready, something comrade Kamala refuses to do.
So there you're, and there you have it, folks. Donald Trump is not preparing for the presidential debate because he's a pretty smart guy and, you know, smart guys can't cram 30 years of knowledge into a few sessions, he said, which that, that doesn't even make any sense, but okay, whatever you said it, it's a weird thing. But, okay. The problem with this statement, as I mentioned, is of course, that it's a flat out lie. And in fact, just one week ago, Donald Trump spokesperson, Caroline Levitt, confirmed to the New York Times that Trump's campaign had brought in none other than Tulsi Gabbard to prep him for the debate he spent all last
Week working with Tulsi Gabbard on how to debate Vice President Kamala Harris. His campaign confirmed it. Then a week later, for some reason, the reporter, I guess, doesn't have a subscription to the New York Times, asked him what he was doing, and he's like, I'm not doing anything. No, I am not worried about things. I am too smart to worry about things bull crap, because your campaign last week said it. Caroline Levitt, let me read you from the New York Times in an email. Caroline Levitt spokeswoman from Mr. Trump confirmed Mrs. Gabb bird's involvement. Ms. Levit said the former president has quote, proven to be one of the best debaters in political history, as evidenced by his knockout blow to Joe Biden.
