Trump is a one trick pony as far as his go-to scheme is concerned.
Simply put, he lies and he lies and he lies some more. He lies as if he were telling the truth. He lies no matter how blatantly false they are. He lies with a straight face and emphatically red-faced double downs on them when pressured to tell the truth. His lies are strewn all over the place, not caring if they're fact checked false, inaccurate and/or jaw dropping whoppers that only his base would buy into.
He got chosen and elected because his lies beat out all the other lies the Repub candidates were bantering on about. From thereon in he has been on a lying binge the likes we've never ever seen from a sitting POTUS. He even beat out Reagan with his trickle down bullshit economic policies that gave the wealthy gifts beyond their wildest dreams at the expense of the working class, Repub conservatives included.
The deeper his troubles became, the worse his lies have become. There is no limit to his lying because his supporters cheer him on every time he comes up with them and the checks and balances put in place to keep him on the straight and narrow have been tossed aside by Moscow Mitch and his band of cowering Repubs in the Senate.
Insanity defined.
I have a very serious allergy to that guy. My skin starts to crawl, I tense up, get nervous, my eyes bulge, my blood pressure goes up. My hands tense and clinch, I'm on edge. My hair stands up. I want to start throwing things... but I don't. I keep calm, realizing in a few seconds it will all be over. If it isn't, I fast forward. Sometimes I pause and think to myself, "what am I seeing and hearing here?" BTW, I've never watched any of his State of the Nation, or whatever those things are called (uh, yeah, Union). No way I could sit through 45 minutes of that crap.
Below is the best portrait of the orange menace that I have ever seen, I imagine. Of course, I've seen many, but this nails it:
ok..Oops forgot commentary!! Trump at his best!!!
THAT is so so so on the mark, bullseye!
