Its no different than what he did throughout the entire build up to the election has done his entire adult life. Say something that is completely untrue, double down on it and then ignore questions about it until people forget or he moves the subject on to the next thing he makes up and lies about. And yes, it did work nearly every single time. You have seen from the handful of Trump supporters in this forum, nothing he says matters, they either don't care or think he doesn't mean it, but it's all ok because at least he isn't a Democrat and especially because he's not Hillary.
