    There’s literally deposition in front of lawyers, in various court cases, with Trump being taped, on video, saying “well, if it feels true, then it must be true!”

    One was the Trump University case where he was claiming that it was fine that people who had never even met him were saying they had been personally instructed by Donald Trump, because “if they felt that way, then it was true in a way” and therefore not fraud.

    The other one was him suing a New York Times journalist who had found that Trump was really only worth somewhere between $150 and $250 million. Trump claimed that he was worth more than $2.7 billion and therefore sued for $5 billion.

    In the deposition, Trump claimed his wealth fluctuated and depended on his feelings on any given day.
