    Liar lies in public. The question is why are so many Americans so keen to trust their futures with a man who will lie to them so easily and so often about even the most little things.

      I grew up in the sticks where, if you didn’t pay your bills, people would gossip about you being a deadbeat and spend all day speculating about what kinds of problems you have. So it’s kind of funny to me that those folk just rationalize all of his shit and at the same time drag their kin through the mud. Some random nobody pulling his shit, those kinds of used car salesmen have a special place in hell when you’re from a town of 300 people

    Apparently it’s not just cats and dogs.

    “The former president also – again without any evidence – said the migrant community is “eating other things too that they’re not supposed to be.”

    TOFU?

    I remember in 2016, it was pointed out that he very convincingly shared all the symptoms of pathological lying. This also connects with both the narcissistic and/or borderline personality disorders; which he also shares a lot of symptoms with, especially NPD.

    I’m no doctor, but I feel like anyone can read into it and easily diagnose this one on his behalf. He frequently showcases first-rate examples and I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if a type of pseudologica phantastica based.around cult of personality was named after him.

    "We had the strongest… we’ve ever had in the history, recorded history of our country,”

    What about American pre history? Are large swaths of American history simply unrecorded?

    What a fucking idiot.
