OMIGOD, is Trump for real? He is a flamboyant liar. On right now

and we're all listening to see what he has to say about the memo, and all he can spew is a rambling hyberbole of his successes -- None of it is believable!


UPDATE - CLASSIC BAIT AND SWITCH. HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE MEMO!

I'm certainly no psychiatrist, but I feel that for some reason, Trumpers need an "Asshole Father" figure. That's why they gravitate toward him. I'm not sure why these people need that type of role model, but I think they do.

Trump is so much of an asshole that it is like satire. He is a parody of himself.

It's called having an authoritarian personality. Basically, some people need a leader to tell them what to do and protect them from evil.

camera. They are hoping that he goes off the reservation and says something really outlandish. They are like spectators at a NASCAR race hoping to see a crash.

In the meantime - Trump takes advantage of this coverage to spew his lies and propaganda. He is using the media and he actually does it very skillfully - but to our detriment.

The MSM needs to get wise and start ignoring Trump. They could film his speeches and if he says something crazy - they could play it back. But to televise every word this guy says just works against us.
