with new health issues. He is responsible for the disruption in people's lives.
What I can't get is that he has the nerve to run for office again. That is beyond shameless.
How on earth have ReTHUGs endorsed this killer.

If a person is wrong but thinks they are telling the truth, they are not lying, they are just wrong. Trump is definitely a pathological liar, though. Lying has worked for him his whole life, and it's the only language he speaks fluently.

The focus is not on truth or lies. It’s 100% on its usefulness.

The ones I have known always acted like they believed it, even when they were challenged with the Truth or Reality, they would look curious and repeat their statement, as if to correct me. I just assumed they were brain damaged, liars and actually believed their own drivel....

Anyway, not people I would continue a conversation with. And this was their lying on any subject, not politics like today's idiots.....

I just figured this was just one of the blocks in the foundation of their personality, and if they questioned that, who knows what else in their persona was phony..........If the pathological lying block crumbled into their awareness, the rest would collapse........

Thanks Luna

He cannot be shamed because he has no shame. No one matters to him except himself. He has a will to dominate — that’s it. He is an overwhelming danger to others.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, “Tump is The Abyss walking on two legs.”

Media is deluged with Trump's malfeasance. Very hard for Trump to get any themes or momentum going with that, except on Faux News. As the election draws closer, Biden might grab this malfeasance theme in all but exact words. Everyone, even some MAGAts, know it to be the truth.
