A good Salon article on tRump's psychotic debate performance last night.

5. Trump lied constantly. That's "normal" for a debate?

In the ten minutes I watched before I turned it off in disgust Trump lied non-stop.

He claimed that he shared his tax returns with Mueller's investigation, claimed that COVID is on the verge of "gong away," claimed that a COVID-19 vaccine is ready to be distributed in two weeks, claimed that he created the greatest economy in the history of the world, claimed that Biden used the phrase super predators, claimed that Biden wants Medicare for all, claimed that Biden took millions from the Russians, claimed that Trumpcare is ready to be released now, claimed that nobody has been tougher on China and Russia, claimed that nobody except maybe Lincoln has done more for black Americans, claimed that refugees from other countries are all criminals and rapists who skip their court dates, etc etc etc.

These probably aren't even the biggest whoppers.

Why does the media normalize pathological lying?
