Trump is a liar.

And every single one of those jackasses who work under him, and who are politically standing behind him, know that.
How the hell do they live with themselves, knowing they are lying to and cheating their own country?—and what the hell were they promised?
It boggles my mind. It's like trying to grasp the size of the universe.

sucking up, constant hyperbole about how wonderful he is.
It is truly mind boggling.

Some ideas:

1. They are really protecting themselves, their careers, the GOP.
2. Trump will have nothing to do with people who don't lie for him, protect him, and
flatter him. (Loyalty) This is the price of doing business with Trump.
3. They understand that Trump is mentally unbalanced and they keep dishing out
BS to him in hopes of keeping him calm and docile.

It seems to be contagious.
Everyone in the WH, the entire administration and the support staff, anyone they do business with, the whole tRump family, and now all (save a single handful) of Republicans have all come down with it. Some sort of plague.

History has many examples of ambitious people who betrayed their country for their own power. Some of them are Trump's favorite people.
