    Chances are that he is not just lying, he is really that disconnected from reality due to both his narcissism and dementia.

      Let’s not forget the liars and yes men he surrounds himself with in case a crumb of reality does get past the narcissism and dementia.

        Absolutely, they probably have a pretty serious circle jerk going on there.

      I think the one accurate statement was “People can’t believe what’s going on!”

      Yes, well that’s true!

    He likely thinks most of it is true because of the sycophants telling him so.

    30,000+ confirmed lies in his first term alone.

    That’s not just being a politician. That’s deep psychological damage.

      I remember when W.'s administration got caught with theirs, it was something like 900 lies across the entire administration and we yelled about that! Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rummy, Powell, the lot of them added up to 900.

      When we eventually really Make America Great Again and follow 15th century traditions like the French Revolution, we’ll want to have full accurate records to make them listen to before the big drop.

      Water is wet. The sky is blue. Space is cold. None of these are as true as their phrase implies, as there’s a lot of technicality involved.

      Trump is a liar. Solid truth. No deviation there.

      He seems to get enough nappy naps.

      Remember when the complaint was “Who do you want answering the phone at 3 AM?”

      Who could have predicted back then that 3 PM would be the real problem?
