Icon Where all the lies are taking us...

So, a lot of the lies that Trump tells are crazy lies that are easy to see through. In fact many of the lies completely contradict reality...which poses a very interesting question:

Can Trump tell the difference between what is real and something he has made up?

The line is a bit blurry on this. Yes, he tells many lies to cover-up things that he has done. He tells political lies. He tells lies to slander other people. Many of these lies are obviously about self interest. He tells many, many lies to try to make himself look better...but here is the thing...some lies he tells where his story about something shifts over and over again and that completely have nothing to do with the actual facts and reality people around him say he actually begins to believe. Which they say actually makes him a "good" liar.

They say the more he repeats a lie the more he seems to actually believe that lie is now the truth. If he can get others to repeat the lie he then sinks further into his delusion that the lie is the truth. If he can hear the lie coming out of his television even better he then can point to somebody else repeating the lie and now claim the lie is fact...thank you, Sean Hannity.

Anyway, the point here is all his life Donald Trump could get away with this kind of nonsense in his business life. He was used to having to "self-promote" blow everything he did up into the "biggest, best, most beautiful, most amazing" deal ever...no matter what it was. He can't help himself from calling a simple thing like a slice of cake "the most amazing cake ever" to saying he is the world's most "stable and intelligent president in our history and his accomplished more that any other president ever could or ever will" and that's hilarious but chances are he may actually believe it.

Trump is in fact so entrenched in his ways when it comes to exaggeration and falsehoods that he is in no way capable of giving any sort of testimony because he is not capable of not lying.

Which begs the question if he is this impaired is he mentally fit to hold the position of president of the United States?

Now, I know people here are going to say "Of course he is not!" but I mean in terms of what people in our government may do about it or what kind of case they could or should make of it.

Essentially, we can't trust Trump to tell the truth on even little things, things he has no need to lie about but still does. How can we trust him to meet with a dangerous world leader, like a Kim Jong-un and tell the truth about the meeting or even say anything factual about it at all?

We now know that Trump dictated his own medical reports. We don't know what his condition really is but people around him, and I am not talking partisan Democrats...I mean his own people...seem unsure if he actually knows what is real or what's not when he creates a lie he prefers.

Donald Trump's presidency is not going well. He is acting guilty as all hell as he is being investigated but in a court of law and in this investigation a mountain of actual evidence and facts will be presented and Trump can't just invent a new fiction to dismiss the facts and reality.

I am thinking that his mental instability is going to play a part in why he ends up resigning because even his own lawyers appear to be admitting he is not fit to testify or answer questions...which means he is not fit to be president...and his trail of crazy lies is actual evidence of this.
