5. To lie though you have to know what you are saying is false, in some aspects trump is just stupid

When he was on the stage going on about TPP and China and got called out on it, he literally had the deer-in-headlights look.


He thinks he knows everything and I think his handlers are too scared to tell him, um, no, you are wrong on that. Otherwise they would be FIRED!
