Trump says he didn’t criticize May despite recording of him critizing May

Exactly. He lies so much and with reckless abandon, I’m not sure if he knows fact from fiction withthis crap he spews.

Agreed. He’s created this fantasy world for himself where he’s the best at everything, universally loved, etc and genuinely believes it to be true. When an inconvenient truth threatens this fantasy world, he dismisses it as fake news. Why do you think he loves those rallies so much? They reaffirm his fantasy world.

I’ve wondered that too. Especially watching older videos of him where he sounds way more coherent.

I’ve also wondered if he’d pass a lie detector test with some of this stuff he says. In that he’s so far removed from reality he genuinely believes the world he’s created for himself.

Polygraphs aren’t nearly as reliable as they’re made out to be, but I’d bet good money he could. Pathological liars ace lie detector tests all the time.

Yup. No way Trump has a physiological reaction to any lie he’s told…which is what the polygraph measures.

He’d be dead if he did.

Yes exactly so.

I’m going to have to remember this if I ever decide to go into a life of crime.

Among all the various species of Trump lies, this is probably my favorite type.

• Clearly say something/do something in public, that’s recorded, published, etc.
• Deny saying or doing that thing.

He’s like the Black Knight from The Holy Grail when the King severs his arm.

King: Your arm’s off.

Knight: No, it isn’t.

King, pointing at severed arm: Well, what’s this, then?

The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

Spot on. You see Trumpists post this in earnest on a damn near daily basis.

I can spin this already.

He didn’t criticize her.

He was giving her feedback.

Nah, it was just locker room talk.

And then call it “fake news” when it’s mentioned
