(877 posts)His words = Trumps words and have been since I've been alive, before I even KNEW or HEARD of Trump. They are the perpetual victims and truly are afraid of being "found out" that they're not what they claim to be. The big tell is their use of superlatives and seeming larger than life. They are never to blame and always find reasons/excuses for their actions. He's the first to "organize movements" but the second they go south on him, others are to blame and he threatens to sue everyone. Lying is a way of life and they'll convince themselves something happened one way if it fits their narrative. It's not lying because they don't know (or rather, they reject) the truth - it simply happened their way and no other way. Sadly, his wife and his daughter are exactly the same way.
How do you stop them? You can't. I was hoping my brother's brain tumor would end it (ie after it was removed) but then I realized it's a tumor of the soul and that's there as long as the person is alive.
