      1. Much of this country marvels at Trump's capacity to lie, even to tell falsehoods that are so demonstrably untrue that a five year old wouldn't tell them. Then, people offer up a variety of theories as to why he told a particular lie. All of those theories are wrong...

      2...I have known Trump since 1987. I have known many who worked for him, others he considered friends, family members, lenders, lawyers, etc. Most of them said the same things: There is no 4-dimensional chess in Trump's lies, which he told incessantly as long as Ive known him...

      3...the reason Trump lies about the obvious is simple: He believes it. He is disconnected from reality. Whether it is from a disorder or habit, Trump's narcissism has led him to a point where all of his statements are based on his own self-aggrandizement. He is incapable of....

      7...something that Trump could use at self-aggrandizement, Trump would jump at it. The "meeting" with a president has been sought by Kim and before him his father for many years. It is meant to gain international validation. All other president's knew not to take the bait....

      8...Trump only saw self-glory. So he fell into the trap. He also is not preparing for that meeting, if it happens, because he is lazy. But that is for another series of tweets. Again, there is a possibility that Trump has simply had the reflex of lying for his ego for so long...

          12...Trump would never shift. There is no shift. This is who he is. And whatever flaw of character or mental illness that leads to the pathological lying, lack of preparation, and delusions is not going anywhere. We are at the mercy of a troubled man. And the GOP doesnt care.

          The issue at this point isn’t his lying (which is a huge issue still) it’s that he’s surrounded with sycophantic weirdos who don’t force him to see the truth.

          The sycophantic weirdos are infesting the halls of congress, masquerading as legitimately elected representatives. Those are the folks who are most complicit. You'd expect the man's staff to cater to his every whim, and they do.

          tRump is a narcissist and has *always* been a lier, scammer and cheat - it’s just that now he’s the prez and we’re victims, watching him rip apart our democracy to sell it piece-meal to the highest bidders.
