There are no consequences for his lies.  His supporters won't call him on it and  they quickly get amnesia for any obvious grifting he does.  So its always a win-win for him to make things up that he base wants to hear.
That is what his boss Putin told him to say.  Traitor. >

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday described Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “genius” and “savvy,” >

This is what I was going to point out. Essentially, he is saying that the brilliant strategist that Trump respects so much was convinced to attack by Biden who Trump claims is senile, unable to lead, and in general, incompetent… >

You’re not Trump’s target audience. Anyone who has a memory longer than a day and critical thinking skills of a 5th grade or above isn’t really who Trump is talking to. >

Yes even if you were to a show a T super fan a video of him saying one of his numerous lies they would say it’s a fake video >

I don’t know many that would say it’s fake, but I know plenty that just jump on board and have no qualms with being hypocritical. >

They just say it’s “baggage” that doesn’t really matter because they support his policies. >

Not true.  Their brain has a rational center, they lack the conscious control of that rational center outside their ego's emotional needs.
​
Their brain still feels the stress of the dissonance, it just manifest differently if it happens subconsciously.  If subconscious, the brain will relieve the stress as anger or aggression at an acceptable enemy or adversary as opposed to inventing elaborate narratives to try and "logic" around the dissonance.  
​
Part of their anger is their brains relieving stress they aren't even aware they are putting their brains through.
