You're welcome, ALWAYS glad to help.Okay, thanks!Sociopathic liars like Donnie Dirt Bag would pass a lie detector test, but you knew that already because you have NO doubt that Tramp IS a sociopathic liar, you are just not honest enough to admit it.Maybe, I don't know.Trump speaks in hyperbole. Everything is the best, greatest, biggestI've never been sure if the way Trump communicates fully qualifies as "lying".
I've known a couple of people like him personally. They all communicate essentially in hyperbole, and they seem to do it so often that they may not even realize it. It's as if - and this is not a stretch - they have over time detached themselves from reality and will think that what they're saying is perfectly fine.
In other words, the fact that what they're saying isn't true may not even occur to them, or it does an instant and is subconsciously whisked away before it leaves a mark.
He probably knows sometimes, but I don't think he always does.
.
But when he is informed that what he said is not true
No Mr President, you did not have the biggest innauguaration crowd
No Mr President, you did not have the biggest election victory in fifty years
No Mr President, there were not Muslims dancing in the streets of NJ on 9-11
He not only repeats the lie, but insists his staff repeat it
That is blatant lying.....not exaggeration
I would be fascinated to know how well he would do in a polygraph test if you asked him those three specific questions. I wonder if he would say he was being honest when he said those things, and passed the test.
Seriously.
I don't believe a word he says, but I can't say that I'm sure what's going on in his head.
