Liar lies in public. The question is why are so many Americans so keen to trust their futures with a man who will lie to them so easily and so often about even the most little things.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I grew up in the sticks where, if you didn't pay your bills, people would gossip about you being a deadbeat and spend all day speculating about what kinds of problems you have. So it's kind of funny to me that those folk just rationalize all of his shit and at the same time drag their kin through the mud. Some random nobody pulling his shit, those kinds of used car salesmen have a special place in hell when you're from a town of 300 people
The guy doesn't pay bills all over the country and people don't seem to think less for it for ...... reasons?
I fully believe once this is all over (for better or worse), this will be analyzed as the largest documented case of a narcissistic abusive relationship in history.
There must be tens of millions of MAGA who are basically abused spouses, so psychologically dependant on Trump that nothing short of a brush with literal death, a personal sustained break and intervention, or focused multi-year deprogramming, will snap them out of it. But the scale of it makes it hard to understand.
To paraphrase Eddie Izzard, if you narcissistically abuse one person, maybe you go to prison. Ten people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick. Twenty people, they put you in a hospital and look at you through a small window. More, we can't deal with it. Thirty million people, we're almost like... Well done! How would you like to be president?
Apparently it’s not just cats and dogs.
“The former president also – again without any evidence – said the migrant community is “eating other things too that they’re not supposed to be.”
TOFU?
Ass, I bet it's ass. Don't kink shame bro.
burgers cooked only to medium well?
I remember in 2016, it was pointed out that he very convincingly shared all the symptoms of pathological lying. This also connects with both the narcissistic and/or borderline personality disorders; which he also shares a lot of symptoms with, especially NPD.
I'm no doctor, but I feel like anyone can read into it and easily diagnose this one on his behalf. He frequently showcases first-rate examples and I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if a type of pseudologica phantastica based.around cult of personality was named after him.
Fine. But how long did he dance? Let’s stay focused on the important issues here.
"We had the strongest.... we’ve ever had in the history, recorded history of our country,”
What about American pre history? Are large swaths of American history simply unrecorded?
What a fucking idiot.
At what point do we assume Trump ate a dog, he's all projection. We know several of his political allies have killed dogs, because they could.
