Back in 1991, Donald J. Trump was giving interviews to magazines and newspapers. That in and of itself, is not surprising. But he was giving those interviews, not as Donald J. Trump…but as Donald Trump’s PR spokesman…John Miller.

In fact, in a court case in 1990, Trump admitted, under oath, that he sometimes posed as John Miller or John Baron…concocted PR representatives for himself.

Add to that, the fact that Trump, as Miller, once gave an interview to People magazine where he said some rather off-the-cuff things regarding Marla Maples and Carla Bruni. The reporter, suspecting that she had, in fact, been talking to Trump himself, played that recorded interview FOR Maples and she IDENTIFIED the voice on the tape AS Donald Trump.

Now, fast forward 25 years, to just a day or two ago, when in a telephone interview on the Today Show, when confronted with the leaked tape of the Miller interview…Trump claimed it WASN’T him and he didn’t even know a thing ABOUT this John Miller thing.

“No, I don’t think it — I don’t know anything about it. You’re telling me about it for the first time and it doesn’t sound like my voice at all. I have many, many people that are trying to imitate my voice and then you can imagine that, and this sounds like one of the scams, one of the many scams — doesn’t sound like me.”

Trump then continued…

“It was not me on the phone. And it doesn’t sound like me on the phone, I will tell you that, and it was not me on the phone. And when was this? Twenty-five years ago?”

Want to hear it for yourself? Okay…have a listen…

THAT is Donald Trump. No question about it. That IS Donald Trump.

This TOO is Donald Trump…

Remember, under OATH, in a 1990 court case Trump ADMITTED that he sometimes posed as John Miller…Marla Maples IDENTIFIED his voice on tape…and now he claims that he had never before even HEARD of this John Miller thing and called it a SCAM.

And now…CNN has produced 2 witnesses AND an audio forensic expert to CONFIRM that Trump IS Miller and that he is LYING when he says it wasn’t him.

What we have here, is a con man, who has been caught in his scam, who is now denying he was scamming reporters 25 years ago and is calling his own scam, somebody else’s scam as a way to get out of taking responsibility for the original scam.

Trumpers will claim that none of this means anything, that it isn’t him, or that it was 25 years ago so who cares?

But it does have meaning, it was him and it shouldn’t matter that it was 25 years ago because it gives us insight into the real Donald Trump.

By telling reporters that he was this fictional John Miller, Donald Trump’s PR guy, Trump was lying to the reporters who then, quoted a fictitious source thus misleading their readers and damaging their own credibility and that of their publications.

Obviously, Trump did it so that he could tell stories and brag about himself without sounding narcissistic which means, that he was, in all actuality, even MORE narcissistic…which is, in fact, a mental issue.

Trump was also doing this, masquerading as a fictitious PR spokesman, so that he could say things that, if they came back to haunt him, he could disassociate himself from or deny if they proved damaging.

Now…Trump is lying about lying…claiming he never heard of this John Miller thing and, as it HAS come back to haunt him and could well be damaging to his goal of becoming a dictator…he is denying it altogether.

But, what else does it tell us about Trump?

Remember, just a few weeks ago, when asked who was advising him regarding foreign affairs…Trump told a national audience that he was talking to himself…because “I have a good brain.” Well, that went over like a brick balloon so, within a couple of days, Trump named his foreign policy advisory team which, as it turned out, was made up of people whose combined foreign policy experience wouldn’t fill a water glass.

One could, and should expect that anyone on that list was being paid to be on that list as shills for whatever Trump might say next and given his big foreign policy speech that came after the naming of his team…it’s a pretty fair bet that he’s still taking foreign policy advice from his mirror, or John Miller, as his speech displayed a complete lack of substance.

It also tells us that Trump is deeply insecure.

He had to concoct a fictional PR guy, John Miller, so that he could tell tall tales…so that he could brag about himself, his business and his conquest of women. Not only that, but he did it because he couldn’t find a REAL PR guy who WOULD do it.

Throughout the course of history, the world stage is littered with insecure “leaders” whose time on the world stage led to one epic societal and national disaster after another. In fact, the more insecure the supposed leader, the greater the tyranny imposed by the supposed leader and the greater the fall of that supposed leader’s nation.

Such insecurity as Donald Trump expresses, from the need to invent a spokesman and masquerade as that spokesman to telling the world that he doesn’t have small private parts, is a sign that he would “lead” by the intimidation of his own people rather than by example.

It tells us that anyone who would have to invent fictional characters, to brag about himself, has a mental problem that goes well beyond clinical narcissism.

And finally, it tells us that Trump lives in a fantasy world.

Reality has little to no bearing on Donald Trump. He fabricated not one but two make-believe PR spokesmen…John Miller and John Baron and pretended to be them over and over again. Behind those masks, Trump told stories…about himself, what a great guy he was, about how many women wanted him, about his business dealings and using his own voice, but made-up names, he excused his poor behavior, his overwhelming need to build monuments to himself and conned the world into believing he was bigger than life.

Trump knew he had to make people think he was more than he really was so as to convince them to invest in his fantasies and in his narcissism. Over the years and decades, he would use other people’s money to build an empire of facades…some of which were so poorly managed they fell into bankruptcy and others that simply failed but each and every one of them bore his name.

Trump Steaks, GoTrump.com, Trump Vodka, Trump Airlines, Trump Mortgage, Trump the Game, Trump Magazine, Trump Ice, Tour de Trump, Trump on the Ocean, The Trump Network, Trumped!! and Trump New Media, all launched amid big media blitzes, all failed and then there was Atlantic City…a boom to bust Trump endeavor, the New Jersey Generals…Trump’s USFL team which he bought, sold and bought again, all in the span of a single year before making such bad investments in them that not only did his team fold, but so too did the entire football league and of course…Trump University…a scam of epic proportions for which now Trump himself is facing fraud charges. You can read more about these flights of fancy failures by clicking here.

Has Trump had business successes? Sure, but many of those are privately held companies and little is actually known regarding how hands-on Trump is with them. Is Trump a successful real estate broker? Yes…but not as successful as he would con you into believing. In fact, in NYC, where Trump often brags that he is THE best at real estate…Donald Trump isn’t even in the top 10 of real estate success stories.

And what of his vast fortune? Is THAT real?

To SOME extent but unless he ever reveals his tax returns, we can never know for sure but the $10 billion he claims he’s worth, is more than likely another fantasy.

Now, we are watching as Trump starts to backtrack on the wild promises he has made throughout his campaign. From the wall, which launched his campaign and which he is now calling a mere suggestion, to his claims of being self-funded, which he is now walking back as he seeks other people’s money to further build his campaign empire, to his tax plan which he is now walking back to include tax hikes…his entire campaign, it seems, was built on hyperbole.

Hyperbol… exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

In other words…lies.

But that’s been his agenda all along…tell people what they want to hear…con them into your fantasy world…gain their trust and use them for your own self-agrandizement. Don’t take my word for it…Take Trump’s…as he himself wrote in his 1987 book, “The Art of the Deal”…

“I play to people’s fantasies. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.”

Truthful  hyperbole = honest lies…playing to people’s fantasies…conning them by telling them what they want to hear rather than telling them the facts…a very effective form of SELF-promotion, but innocent? When the fate of our nation is at stake? When the free world hangs in the balance? Innocent?

It’s far, FAR from innocent, but how DID this tape, of the fictitious John Miller…Trump himself promoting Donald Trump to a journalist in 1991, fall into the hands of the Washington Post last week? Who leaked it?

Ask Sue Carswell, she was that journalist working for People Magazine in 1991 where SHE thinks it came from. She lost her copy of it YEARS ago but when Megyn Kelly asked her where SHE thought the copy of the tape, at the top of this article came from…Carswell said she believes it was leaked by Trump himself because…HE had a copy of it from back in the day. Carswell believes that Trump leaked it to the Washington Post so that it would become a story now that he no longer needs to campaign…which also goes toward why he is now denying it was him ON that tape and claiming he never even HEARD of it before.

In his entire campaign, there may well be only one piece of truth actually told by Donald Trump…that he could shoot somebody on 5^th Ave. and not lose any voters.

And what does that have to do with the fictitious John Miller? Well…the tape of John Miller, aka Donald Trump, was released last week by the Washington Post, which has an office at 20 W. 22nd St. in NYC…just a block from…you guessed it…5^th Avenue, and Trump could well be proving that he can shoot HIMSELF in the foot there…and none of his blind following will give a damn.

What Trump has done, is employ a true liberal tactic…he has seized upon a crisis of his own making and he is using that self-made crisis to his own benefit…i.e. more free press coverage. He has denied the initial masquerade, he has hung up the phone in a manufactured tirade against reporters amid questions regarding the masquerade, he is allowing the media to focus on him because of the face value of that initial masquerade and Trump knows his followers are too blind to care should someone like me expose the TRUTH behind this charade.

And this isn’t the first time Trump has turned to the liberal/socialist Alinsky tactic…the Cloward-Piven Strategy of manufacturing a crisis. Remember the protests at Trump’s events? Remember the violence? Remember Trump promising to pay legal fees for those who took to violence?

Remember when Trump said, were he not to get the nomination, there would be riots?

Here it is, straight from Cloward and Piven…”By crisis, we mean a publicly visible disruption in some institutional sphere. Crisis can occur spontaneously (e.g., riots) or as the intended result of tactics of demonstration and protest which either generate institutional disruption or bring unrecognized disruption to public attention.”

Shame on those so blind that they cannot see the truth and continue to follow the liberal con man. Shame on those who voted for the liberal con man and elevated him to this position and shame on the GOP should they actually make this liberal con man their party’s nominee and thus the face and voice of their party because who have they really followed? Who have they really elevated? Who are they really about to nominate?

Donald J. Trump…or John Miller?

One is a con man and a liberal…the other, a fictional, fantasy character invented by the liberal con man so that he would have someone to hide behind. And you don’t hide behind a fictional character of your own invention unless you’ve got something to hide.

And now that the truth has been exposed…neither should ever have the opportunity to be considered the GOP nominee lest the party, lest Conservatives and/or Republicans in general be willing to stoop to the lowest levels of our society adopt the tactics and persona of liberalism.
