I'm just surprised that he's lying "strategically". I would've guessed "by compulsion". I also don't believe he has enough going on upstairs to be all that strategic about things.

This was 40 years ago so I’m willing to believe he was able to strategise. It just degenerated into mad ramblings as time went on.
This bum was never strategic. He just had enough of daddy's money to keep fucking up without consequences.
He's a psychopath. What did you expect?
Face consequences. Is it too much?
More realistic back of head profile
Anyone who will believe this already knows that Trump lies non-stop. Anyone who does not recognize Trump for the liar andcon man he is by now isn't going to have their mind changed.
If you have never encountered someone like this or maybe you have and you don't know it ... it is a horrible experience to be in confidence with someone who as an adult uses constant lies as a strategy.
It will fuck up your worldview for many many years.
At a previous work place a second line manager was like this. He would tell people one thing and them in meetings tell his superior something else, even with the same people present. It got to a point that people avoided meetings with the guy without someone else as witness and my manager got the habit to document the meetings and forward to all parts as an email to have a paper trail. That paper trail came in hand at least a couple of times. I didn't deal directly with the guy but people say it was exhausting. Finally the company ler him go during a season with a lot of people quiting after one too many people cited him as a reason for leave the company.
On the other hand it didn't bother him enough back then not to keep going with the ghost writing job
This was 1985. Trump was just a run-of-the-mill sleazebag back then.
I think we can give the ghostwriter a pass on this being "just a job". If anything, it's pretty damning to have the ghostwriter of your one bestselling book call you a liar, which he's been saying since 2016.
I wonder if the one person that downvoted this thinks Trump always tells the truth.
He's not very smart and he has a visible personality disorder.
Everyone who's ever parted ways with him describes him like a lecherous toddler.
Just what you look for in a President of one of the worlds most powerful countries
All politicians lie strategically.
Trump wasn't a politician for the first 70-ish years of his life.

Bernie Sanders proves that all politicians do not lie.

"Both sides are the same" is bullshit. We all know Trump's dishonest is at an entirely different level with most politicians. The key was "he had a complete lack of conscious about it". Most people have a conscious and know that lying is a character flaw. Trump does not at all think of dishonesty as a character flaw. Trump thinks of honesty as a character flaw.
Bernie Sanders is not qualified. Just because he comes out with socialist clichés, doesn't make a qualified leader.
LMFAO WTF are you talking about? There is no denying that Bernie Sanders is one of our most prominent and popular politicians. And I have never known him to lie ever. You've just completely discredited yourself with your dis of our greatest politician.
I don't give a shit what War Criminal Putin thinks about him.
Nothing great about Bernie Sanders. We have plenty of activist in our day. Just turn on your TV. He isn't qualified to run anything. Even Barack Obama denounced Bernie as a democrat front-runner just like Bush-Lights denounced Donald Trump, including the Cheney's. His spending proposals show how incompetent he is.
LMFAO Nobody in America cares what Putin thinks dude.
