4. I have been saying for years that there is a big difference between lying and bullshitting...

Trump is a bullshitter. He simply vomits words, having found though his entire life that there seems to be little interest in the accuracy of those words and no penalties for bullshit. When a lie is exposed, he just moves on with another one and it's like no one cares or notices.

New Yorkers know this almost instinctively and we just considered him another local curiosity, never to be taken seriously. Farmers in Iowa or coal miners in WV can be excused for not knowing this and actually believing his campaign bullshit. I hope they are not that stupid, or proud, to admit their error.

He is a carnival barker-- saying whatever interests the crowd at the moment, and hopefully gets them to open their pockets.
