Trump has never had to answer for his lies...

He lies about anything. He lies about everything. He is a pathological liar.

He has always been able to bluff or to bully his way past anyone, including the media, that might question his lies.

Once someone questions his lies, he has nowhere to turn.

How dare you question his veracity!

7. only if you have a conscience and try to be good at it.

donnie has no conscience, so no problem there.

and trying to be good at it can take a lot of energy -- keeping track of the truth vs. your lie, remembering what you said, making sure further embellishments are plausible.

but donnie resolves that easily by simply forgetting about the truth entirely. he immediately accepts his own lies as fact, as reality. there's no struggle between two worldviews because there is only one, the one where whatever he says is the truth.

I hope all his assets are seized. I hope he finds himself a felon with no friends and no money.

In addition, it would give me some pleasure to repay him for the anxiety and stress he has caused my family and me by sending him lots of letters taunting him. I bet I'm not the only one who dreams about this, so maybe this will be a just punishment.

He lies when he doesn't have to, even when the truth would be better for him.

10. He had to answer in Tim Obrien Lawsuit

O’brien Wrote a book reporting Trump lied about his net worth. Trump sued for five billion dollars. Warner Books not only didn’t roll over but hired Mary Jo White to defend. Mary Jo later became head of the SEC and back then was a stone cold killer private lawyer. Trump realized he was in trouble and delayed and delayed discovery under oath. But finally, 3 years later, he had to be deposed. Over 2 days Trump was forced to admit lies about his finances. They forced him to admit lie after lie after lie after lie. Trump’s total humiliation covers a 170 page transcript.
