      Reminded he promised Mexico would pay for the wall, Trump interjects, "Here we go again." Asked how he is not failing to fulfill his promise, he repeats his absurd argument that the new North American trade agreement means Mexico is paying.

      Trump repeats his regular false claim that Apple is investing $350B in the US because of his tax law. The company's announcement was pretty vague, but experts say more than $250B of that was regularly planned operations spending.

      Trump says he's not worried about Apple's stock decline because "they've gone up hundreds of percent since I'm president." That's not even close to true. It's been an increase of less than 30%.

      Trump repeats his wildly misleading claim that Mexico's VAT disadvantages the US on trade. This is one of the ones I don't call a lie because it's entirely unclear if Trump has any idea what he's talking about.

      Trump repeats his regular lie that the U.S. loses "close to $100 billion a year with trade with Mexico for many years." Ignoring his description of trade deficits as losses, the U.S. has never once had even close to a $100 billion deficit with Mexico.

      Asked if he'd ask landlords to go easy on federal workers not getting paid right now, Trump says, "I think they will...I think that happens. Hey, I've been a landlord for a long time...they work with people." Pressed, he eventually says he would indeed tell them to go easy.

          Earlier, Trump said he'd been called by tech companies who complain that they can't keep highly educated foreign workers schooled in the US. He says this is a "ridiculous" policy. *His own policy* has been to make it harder for such people.https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/09/trumps-war-on-immigration-causing-silicon-valley-brain-drain.html …

          Everyone’s been afraid to challenge him by asking him why he lying. It really doesn’t matter. The sad and awful truth is that he genuinely doesn’t believe he’s lying and has no awareness of it! It’s a feature of narcissists that seems odd to us. Asking him is futile!

          No no no. He *doesn’t care* if he’s lying or not. He’s not a true believer. He just has no regard for whether or not his beliefs are true.

          It’s also true that he doesn’t care one way or the other about lying. He’s a completely amoral person and it evokes no emotional response at all.

          So today a reporter pressed Trump on a hypothetical scenario of asking landlords to go easy on federal workers who might need extra time to make rent. But they won't press him when he lies about verifiable facts? Why? Where is Helen Thomas when you need her. #LiarInChief

          Interesting... how about small landlords who just own one or two properties, or home owners? Will banks go easy on mortgages? State and cities on property taxes? Food? What world does #Trump live in? This should have every #worker every #SmallBusiness marching in protest.

          I thought the Kushners took perverse pleasure in evicting tenants who were a day late in paying their rent, or miswrote their checks for 5 bucks less than the right amount.
