Anatomy of a liar. Trump's big problem.

[guillaumeb]

First, it is apparent to most of us that Trump is a serial liar who cannot or will not ever tell the truth about anything.

Why? Either he is allergic to the truth, a common affliction among GOP politicians, or he is a crook who has much to hide.

Consider that he never released, nor will he ever release, his tax forms. What that suggests is that he has so much to hide that he could not explain away even to his loyal Trumpers.

And being a liar, he must lie about everything he does that relates to him getting money from Russian oligarchs, Chinese businesses, the Mafia, and other unsavory types.

The biggest problem with lying is, if one part of the lie is exposed, the story must be changed to conform to what is now known. And as more of the truth is exposed, more of the story must change. SO we have in effect a kaleidoscope of a story, where every turn of the eyepiece reveals a different picture.

2. In over 30 years of being a Union Steward,

I always advised people to not lie. The truth is easy to remember because it actually happened. But lies keep growing because they have to continually evolve to fit the facts as they come out.

All of the idiots who promoted the "crooked Hillary" idea are now either under indictment, have pleaded guilty, or are in Mueller's sights. And we are all suffering because an idiotic thief is currently in charge.

12. Hey.

Yes. I agree.

Sorry...I have a lot going on and am not that wordy lately. Soon things will settle down.

Thank you for your OP, guill.

13. You are welcome,

and I hope all is well with you. Your voice is important here.

3. Lying is human flaw.

The problem is when your conscience doesn't bother you when you do it. Our conscience drives is to repentance and growth. Trump is a happy liar who has no ability to see or feel anything wrong with his lying and it's consequences.

5. It is, and Trump obviously feels it shows how smart he is.

Another con game for him. The problem is that when a stupid liar meets a smart investigator, stupid never wins. The burden for the habitual liar is that the truth contradicts the liar and the lies.

6. Trump was probably a small child when he started.

With the same maturity level as well.

7. That is kind if what sociopaths do.

They try out one story. And if that one doesn't fly they change to another story. That is one way to tell if someone is a sociopath.

9. And they have no guilt, no conscience.

11. No empathy. nt

8. Interesting post, but I'm not sure if lying is his biggest problem or his biggest asset.

Pathological liar and sick fuck that he is overall, he has made a living out of lying and taking advantage of anyone who was/is naive enough or stupid enough to believe a word that comes out of his disgusting mouth.

I have to wonder if he could have won as many states as he did by telling the truth. It's a crying shame that so many of the people who voted for him did so because they believed his lies.

The most annoying thing is not just that he lies but how he lies. He calls someone else despicable when he is the one who's despicable. He calls someone else a crook when he's the biggest crook in the universe. He calls someone else a liar when he's the biggest liar the world has ever known. He calls someone else disgusting when he's broken the fucking record for being disgusting.

The saddest thing is that his supporters are either heartless or as dumb as a brick. The ones who are heartless, including his GOP brethren, don't give a rats ass that he lies through his teeth 24/7. As long as they think he'll get their agenda through, they couldn't care less how much Trump lies. The ones who are dumb enough to actually believe what he says, well, I guess that speaks volumes for where our country is, intelligence wise.

10. Excellent observation.

I feel that it is both problem and asset. To the terminally fact deprived, it is an asset. A con man needs an audience who are willing to believe in the con.


And as you noted, to the GOP he is a tool. Which makes them equally complicit in the lies and crimes.
