I don't know if Trump is the liar he comes off as. I think that he is just EXTREMELY STUPID!

[Joe Nation]

So stupid in fact, that he doesn't know how stupid he is. Does that sound like another group **cough* *cough* Trump supporters... that are too dumb to know just how dumb they are?

When Trump throws out some B.S. statistics or claims some enormous number that is nowhere near the actual number of something, he isn't actually lying, he is just talking out of his ass so much that he has no idea what the actual truth is.

I think we give him too much credit when we say that he is lying. In order to lie, you have to also know what the truth is that you are lying about. Trump doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

His "lies" get more and more ridiculous by the day if you take them as lies. If you think of him as just some kind of idiot incapable of knowing truth from fiction, his behavior makes way more sense.

This man needs to removed from office out of sheer incompetence.

1. Building an insanity defense? Has he looked to his future?

2. My mother said all kinds of weird stuff, when she developed Alzheimer's

She made countless accusations, and very ridiculous declarations of "facts" that we could not convince her were just not true.

7. Mine too

I think Chump is well on his way to dementia, just like his father.

[Celerity]

3. he is all 3, a liar, a dullard, and a mentally ill evil fuck

[Mme. Defarge]

9. Yes, the trifecta!

[TreasonousBastard]

4. I have been saying for years that there is a big difference between lying and bullshitting...

Trump is a bullshitter. He simply vomits words, having found though his entire life that there seems to be little interest in the accuracy of those words and no penalties for bullshit. When a lie is exposed, he just moves on with another one and it's like no one cares or notices.

New Yorkers know this almost instinctively and we just considered him another local curiosity, never to be taken seriously. Farmers in Iowa or coal miners in WV can be excused for not knowing this and actually believing his campaign bullshit. I hope they are not that stupid, or proud, to admit their error.

He is a carnival barker-- saying whatever interests the crowd at the moment, and hopefully gets them to open their pockets.

6. Carnival Barker!

Best description I've heard.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. He's a Flim Flam man.

I do think dementia is getting him, too.

[Phoenix61]

14. No doubt about dementia. nt

[Totally Tunsie]

10. +100

[Me.]

5. He's A Liar

cheat, sneak & thief. He's not the genius he claims (another lie) to be but is cunning.

[malaise]

8. So what explains why he doesn't know where his own father was born?

Look - he is a pathological LIAR, a raving lunatic and is showing all the signs of dementia.

[MineralMan]

11. Yes, he is the liar he comes off as. He's also extremely stupid.

The two things are not mutually exclusive.

Trump is a bully. Trump is a self-serving liar. Trump is also an idiot.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. The two concepts are as far from mutually exclusive as possible. nt

[czarjak]

15. In other words, full of shit...

[blogslut]

16. He's both

And now his lizard brain is turning to swiss cheese, due to whatever. His survival instinct is the only thing keeping him upright.
