You keep hearing things like this every few weeks because his grip on reality has been steadily deteriorating, though. It started out as what I myself called skilled propaganda, but it's gotten less skilled and more cray-cray particularly through his second year in office. Every week has brought a new low. For me, this is the particular thing that seems to represent a phase change though. Others will have seen it sooner or might not see it until later, which is why you get the steady drip of posts like this. But hey, I just realied the guy really isn't just evil and narcissistic and a liar; he really has convinced himself of his own lies and is living in his own private Idaho where his lies are the truth and all evidence supports them.
