Trump the Billionaire Con-Man at The Top of his Game.





DONALD TRUMP, CON ARTIST?
The New Yorker March 19, 2016

Politicians often call one another liars. By calling Trump a con artist, Rubio may have just meant to say that Trump was a grandiose liar—someone who has lied above and beyond the typical level permissible in politics. Many politicians—indeed, many people—are deceitful, and many businesspeople run companies that go bankrupt or which sell products that aren’t particularly good. Still, these people are not necessarily con artists. In writing “The Confidence Game,” I learned that a con artist, or “confidence man,” is a very specific type of person.

con art·ist

a person who cheats or tricks others by persuading them to believe something that is not true.
Confidence trick/game, A confidence trick (synonyms include confidence game, confidence scheme, ripoff, scam and stratagem) is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence, used in the classical sense of trust. Confidence tricks exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as dishonesty, honesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, naïveté and greed.

When the Wolf Comes the Liar will react running and hiding allowing the children be eaten in his effort to get a fast getaway. He will use the attack to defer, say we should have more children to feed the wolf, its your fault and thank God the wolf didn't eat any of his sheep. Trump the third draft dodging president out of the last four and the second spoiled rich boy that has no thoughts of the people, any people other than using them like a dish towel to clean his hands as utensils for other means. A sad person of the lowest order!
