His other "tell" is when he sends tweets.

He is so similar to the forensic clients I had at the mental health clinic ....especially those I saw in the county jail.

(7,725 posts)Such a buffoon. He tries his absolute best to sound like a president, but, he just comes off as a know nothing rich kid, corporate shill. Imagine the businesses this guy has run and the fear of god they all lived with wondering if on any given day, they would be fodder for a "you're fired' style tantrum. he hasn't worked this hard in his life.(doing nothing)..and he gets treated like a king. And we pay for it.
Are we still paying 200k a year for that effin bodyguard these days?

(36,848 posts)"We met with the queen, who is absolutely a terrific person, where she reviewed her Honor Guard for the first time in 70 years, they tell me," Mr. Trump said at the White House Tuesday. "We walked in front of the Honor Guard and that was very inspiring to see and be with her. And I think the relationship, I can truly say is a good one. But she was very, very inspiring indeed."
The queen's coronation was in June 1953. Reviewing the Honor Guard is a frequent part of her royal duties. She did so with President Obama during his visit to Buckingham Palace in 2011.

Is there nothing he won't lie about?! Yes, I already know the answer. Also, to the media, please use 'LIE' more often.

(10,303 posts)Her dad ascended to the throne in 1936. It is conceivable that Princess Elizabeth reviewed the Kings Guard with her father. Now I wouldn't expect her to review the guard frequently as Princess.

(12,608 posts)1. he met her for the very first time and says they have a good relationship.
2. he lied about the reviewing of the guard
3. his lies have lies
4. There is no 'they' that told him anything
robbob
(3,528 posts)IF that was the last time she reviewed the guards (in 2011, with Obama), that would be SEVEN years ago. Someone told him 7, he repeats it as 70. Once again, he misspoke.

(16,858 posts)Were absolutely full of shit!! She hasn't even been Queen for 70 years you fucking dipshit!! By my count 2018 minus 1952 is 66 years!! And she does that on the reg!! You're the one who looked like the dipshit corgi she had to lead through that event, you uncultured swine!
(Edit...I realize the coronation was in '53 but her father passed in 52, thus the math)

(5,477 posts)he's a bullshitter, after reading Harry Frankfurt's (Professor Emeritus if Philosophy, Princeton University) piece, 'On Bullshit' (2005):
----------------------
It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.

smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)He's so delusional. He doesn't know what it is to have a relationship with anyway. These people are just doing their jobs and putting up with you because they have to in order to keep things running smoothly. They are merely tolerating you.
He also said he thinks the people in Ireland and Scotland love him, which is another example of his delusion. He is widely despised in both countries.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,686 posts)It's the opposite of paranoia; it's the delusion that everybody likes you. Trump has a really bad case of it.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,686 posts)She's been visited by many other presidents and other heads of state over the years, but she never reviewed her guard with them. She did it only for Trump because he's so much more special than anybody else.

(1,184 posts)"She is reviewing her Honour Guard for the first time in 70 years just for YOU! She didn't even meet with Obama. And she spelled it Honor Guard until U came along. She even changed the space-time continuum so she could be queen 70 years ago to review it. And it's all because of YOU, Donald John Trump!"
