He lies so often and so consistently that he may well believe what he says - whoever thought that we'd ever be saying this about a sitting American president??

Welcome to DU, Just my opinion! We're glad to have you with us!

I'm sure most of us have.

There really, really, TRULY ARE ... people who convince themselves, at least 99% entirely ... that their own utter bullshit ... is actually truth.

We generally call these people 'pathological liars'. As opposed to the 'compulsive liars', which are the ones who just lie, automatically, about practically everything ... but that doesn't mean they actually believe it.

Honestly I think IQ45 suffers from both conditions ... along with a severe case of pathological narcissism, aka NPD. He's totally incapable of stringing together 2 consecutive sentences without using the words 'I, Me, Mine', which is a dead-giveaway.

And they employed speechwriters to come up with the important and memorable words to accurately convey exactly what they meant to say. And now we have Trump who just goes out there and babbles - it doesn't matter about what to him - he just does this stream of consciousness thing about whatever crosses his mind at the moment, relevant or true or lies, it doesn't matter. And he manages to find people willing to listen to this!

I was remembering David Letterman's "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches." He'd show a clip of FDR or JFK saying something profound that became famous - and then follow that with something silly that George Bush* said - for the laugh. I can't imagine what he'd do with Trump! He would never run out of material on a daily basis!

You can tell he has just had it with these idiots. It's getting so tiresome. All the lying and bullshit. I am so glad he calls them out on it. If it wasn't for the late night comedians, we would never see these morons challenged the way they should be.

Thanks for posting Rhiannon!

And he sure has been telling it like it is - he has just gotten better! And you can tell that this is how he really feels, it's not just material that was written for him, he believes it!
