Line 277:
* [[Pinocchio]]: The ''Washington Post'' created a new category of "falsehood" (as part of their Fact Checker) for false claims repeated more than 20 times publicly after attributing so many to Trump. It was called the "[https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/fact-checker-most-repeated-disinformation/?utm_term=.7ea2e566af6a Bottomless Pinocchio]".
* [[Plato Is a Moron]]: Even before he was elected President in 2016, Trump was especially prone to making such pronouncements about himself, claiming once that he was [https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a15957887/is-trump-a-better-president-than-abraham-lincoln/ an even better President than Lincoln]. And afterward he would never hesitate to inform anyone who would listen that he was smarter and better informed than any expert who dared disagree with him.
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: According to [https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-war/#comments_section_start a tweet made by Washington Post investigative reporter Josh Dawsey], he "mused to donors that we should take our F-22 planes, 'put the Chinese flag on them and bomb the shit out' out of Russia. 'And then we say, China did it, we didn't do, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch.'" Needless to say, [[Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard|didn't go ever well.]]
** Not to mention, [[Easy Logistics| it would never work]]. If such a plan were enacted, planes entering Russian airspace unannounced would be shot down before anyone even noticed flags or markings, and they'd quickly be identified as American planes via the design. Oh, and the F-22 is is a tactical fighter, not a bomber.
* [[Playing the Victim Card]]: Complaining about how he was the victim of any number of people, organizations and conspiracies out to get him was Trump's oratorical stock-in-trade while he was President, and played a major part in his baseless contention that his defeat in the 2020 presidential election was due to massive fraud.
** In 2015, after he made unsupported statements about illegal Mexican immigrants, [[wikipedia:Miss_USA_2015#Controversy|Univision Communications decided to not air the Miss USA pageant (which Trump owned at the time) in Mexico]]. Trump proceeded to sue Univision for defamation.
