You know this but, Trump believes in anything that gets him attention. That’s it. Once the attention makes him look bad then he throws another lie bomb.

This is what we are living with as Trump resides in the WH.

An unreliable narrator is a character whose telling of the story is not completely accurate or credible due to problems with the character’s mental state or maturity. … The term ‘unreliable narrator’ was first used by Wayne C. Booth in 1961 in The Rhetoric of Fiction.

Nancy - quick! Pass a bill re-establishing the fairness doctrine!

If you name it the “Trump Honesty in Reporting Act of 2019” then trump will force McConnell to bring the measure to the Senate.

Trump isn’t immoral, he’s amoral. He thinks he is above right and wrong. This is complicated by the fact that he HAS been getting away with everything for decades. But he has never been this exposed. This vulnerable. And he has never been pursued like this. Ever.

Trump has, at his core, compassion only for himself. But it’s really only self-pity. Which is just one more sign of his shallowness. He can’t even feel love for himself. Doesn’t have that circuitry.

Someone once noticed that The Church of Scientology was merely an extension of L. Ron Hubbard’s psyche. The entire thing. He made damn sure of it.

L. Ron was a Malignant Narcissist.

Donald Trump is also a Malignant Narcissist. And the extension of his psyche is The United States of America.

If we let him.

Hooooo Boy! This cretin is becoming increasing unhinged, un-moored, unthinkable.

Folks, it is NOT too early to begin thinking about your 2020 run for office. The Senate really need rational, thinking, breathing human beings. McConnell has been packing the Federal bench with Trump lawyers the past 2 years. He is re-making the Judiciary in Trump’s likeness. How does THAT go down with your cold cereal and missing paychecks?

If the Gohmerts and Kings and Lees of this country can get elected imagine what a truly qualified candidate like yourself can accomplish!

Maybe today would be a great day for him to take a stroll around DC and shake hands and talk to people and find out how much support he has. People would run in the opposite direction as fast as they could.

Please, lets not name one thing after him except the prison he’ll hopefully reside in.

These tweets from a man who would not know “the truth” if it bit him on the ass. He really does live in his own little bubble, doesn’t he? Time to 25 45…

Please notice that he doesn’t listen to Journalists’ Demands that lies stop must coming from the WH.

Trump’s problem with the press is not made up stories. It’s when they repeat verbatim what he says.

Jesus, the irony. The most lying liar to ever mendaciously repeatedly spew falsehoods demands that the media clean up its act.

It does look like he’s actually preparing his base for another barrage of truth from other sources…say, a Democratic House Committee or two and new Mueller indictments…and hopes to vaccinate his base by again telling them that everything they read, hear and see from those sources are lies.

FUCK THE FUCKING FASCIST.
