      Was just thinking how one problem with telling lies is that you have to remember them all. Then I remembered that quite a lot of famous politicians have been known for their extraordinary memories. I'd always wondered about that. Now I may have a theory to explain it...

      Well, @realDonaldTrump doesn’t even care about remembering all he said.

      That's an interesting point. But he's not a politician. He did an end-run around the politicians.

          Hm, yeah, right, it makes sense. But then it might turn out tnat looking at his “success” politicians understand that they also don’t need to care about remembering anything? I guess, in that case even good memory won’t be required after all.

          I worry a lot about what politicians may learn from Trump. That may be the most dangerous thing about him.

          The notion that DT isn’t a politician is dangerous and untrue. He’s much more of a politician than what we’re used to. He learned from our politicians than outright lying doesn’t cost, it pays. Supporters expect/require that a politician to lie to get them what they want.

          The approach of trump is to overwhelm with so many points of view and falsehoods that the very profusion of lies and mis information leads to effective immunity.
