Gish Gallop

Immature debate tactic used by Trumpers, grifters who are paid by shills, and people who only care about winning, the Gish Gallop is a tactic in which one person purposefully gives as many incorrect or falsely-quoted statistics as possible in a very short time frame. This forces the opponent to waste time taking down endless strawmen and lies created by their opponent, and is usually a sign that the person is arguing in bad faith. The GOP is famous for doing this...
Wow, Pres Orange Cheetohead is doing his gish gallop again. *sigh*
