In reply to the discussion: Trump erupts in '60 Minutes' interview: 'I'm not a pedophile' [View all]TexasBushwhacker
(21,260 posts)68. Keep saying it Donny!!!
Our brains play tricks on us. We often cancel out negative statements.
Someone says "I'm not lying". We hear "I'm lying."
Someone says "I did not do it." We hear "I did it".
So when Donny says "I'm not a pedophile." We hear "I'm a pedophile."
He says "I'm not a rapist " We hear "I'm a rapist."
The more he says those words, the more we associate him with those words.

I'm all in favor of very fine and sharp points. They penetrate much more easily.
