What I was referring to is the very intentional lies he tells - even in front of those affected - that serve no purpose (that I can see) other than to throw red meat to his base (as Hillary said today).

One could even argue that he could actually expand his voter base by being kind and supportive to these destitute folks. The shear coldness baffles me - and I often see that expressed in overseas media, too.

Just defies all logic - as does everything tRump.
