The LIAR in Chief

Cynic · 2018-08-30T16:04:23.833Z

When the people around him are willing to insulate him with comments like “truth is not truth” and “alternative facts”, all accountability seems to have been lost.

It was funny when it was a man with a bruised ego lying about crowd size, but now that it has morphed into very divisive and damaging attacks on anyone he perceives (or simply wants to be viewed) as an enemy; it needs to stop.

He has really become unhinged these past few weeks…cant say I blame him when his supporters lap it up like loyal dogs.

The detachment from reality really has ratcheted up in recent weeks. The desperation is palpable. And it’s only going to continue to get worse as things continue to collapse around Trump. We haven’t reached peak crazy yet. Not even close.

He’s become more unhinged as the walls continue to close around him. He’s desperately lashing out while simultaneously seeking distractions from investigations and indictments of his inner circle.

Peak crazy will come when one of his family gets indicted or his crooked business dealings are exposed.

Agreed. But we will see a significant jump in crazy should the Democrats take the House and kick off real investigations of the Executive Branch. Even that won’t reach peak though. You’re right.

Yeah, if democrats take one or both houses of Congress, Trump will ratchet it up. It will be just another sign of the walls closing in even more.

Maybe we need to have some kind of doctrine in place. You know, to insure fairness.

It doesn’t stop there. He’s now also now claiming NBC altered their interview with him from 2017 where he said was thinking of the Russia investigation when he fired Comey.

This is getting dangerous.

U.S. – 30 Aug 18

Trump seeks to backtrack on 2017 comments on Comey firing

U.S. President Donald Trump sought to backtrack on comments last year in which he tied his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey to a probe into Russian election meddling, accusing NBC News on Thursday of "fudging" their interview, but offering...

Cynic · 2018-08-30T16:26:56.624Z

Yep, because at that point he will step in and actually start firing people, and using his pardon power willfully; obstructing on a whole new level. The narrative will have to be ratcheted up to a level that I think will finally be intolerable, I hope.

Cynic · 2018-08-30T16:28:35.561Z

No, we need a President who is not permitted and then excused to lie to us.

Yep, because at that point he will step in and actually start firing people, and truly obstructing. The narrative will have to be ratcheted up to a level that I think will finally be intolerable, I hope.

If reports are to be believed, Trump spends a good bit of his days in a rage, screaming and lashing out. Considering he 72 years old, gets no exercise, eats a poor diet and is considerably overweight; this can’t be good for his health.

The only twitters I see are the ones FOX news or the Pgh Post Gazette shares.

As a communication medium I despise the brevity.

GrandWazoo · 2018-08-30T16:39:51.420Z

At some point he will have to realize that his deflections and distractions will not work. And it will drive him crazy.

rolltide · 2018-08-30T16:44:02.265Z

We now have a whole generation raised on the demonstrably false propaganda of Fox news and talkradio. Good luck with straightening this mess out anytime soon.

Like Trump, many of his followers don’t know what actually is to “know” something. They seem to be confused and bewildered as to how to weigh sources and information. They don’t get more weak-minded than these Trump cultists.

Yeah, that ship sailed long ago.

This Fall/Winter is a dangerous time for our country. Dems are likely to retake the House- impeachment is on the table, multiple investigations point to criminal activity on the part of the president and Trump is now spewing an endless tirade of tweet raging where he targets the media and specific people he deems enemies.

Its an inflection point in American history. My prayer is that we get through it without violence.

Camp · 2018-08-30T17:02:10.132Z

…Add to that a generation of people who fail to respect another persons opinion or even to recognize exactly what an opinion is…

It’s tough outside the echo chamber.

It really is tough for Fox viewers to exist outside their echo chamber.

Yakshi · 2018-08-30T19:08:19.881Z

Wait, this is our President. We must respect the office.

That’s his reality, and it’s okay for him.

You’ve got a different reality, one filled with facts and, uh, reality. Isn’t that enough for you?

Leave the poor man alone. Maybe he has PTSD from some old bone spur related incident.

Kelby:

If and until he gets push back from the Congressional Republican leadership, it will continue.

No, it will just continue period. He got plenty of pushback in the first months of his presidency and it made not one whit of difference. He just fired people.
