Trump has another moment right out of '1984'
If you’re president and you’ve done something morally abhorrent and politically unpopular, such as setting up a “zero tolerance” policy at the border that literally tears children from their parents’ arms, there are a few ways you can handle the fallout. You can reverse the policy and admit it was a mistake. You can make a case that it was justified.
Or you can claim that despite widespread comments about that policy by you and your aides, and literally thousands of news reports documenting what went on, none of it actually happened.
Trump attempted this up-is-downism with regard to his administration’s family-separation policy, in which thousands of children were taken from their families at the border.
TRUMP: When I became president, President Obama had a separation policy. I didn’t have it, he had it. I brought the families together. I’m the one that brought them together. Now I said something when I did that.
DIAZ-BALART: Mr. President —
TRUMP: Watch. Many more people will come up. And that’s what happened. But President Obama is the one that built those prison cells.
DIAZ-BALART: The government doesn’t even know how many children are still not with their parents. They don’t even know, which I find incredible.
TRUMP: Ready?
DIAZ-BALART: My question is —
TRUMP: Are you ready? Under the Obama plan —
DIAZ-BALART: Sir, we’re talking about your plan.
TRUMP: We — no. No, we’re not. Because I’m the one that put people together.

He lies so often and so much that there isn't time to fact check all his lies on the spot. So all these outrageous lies are out there and people start to believe them and he knows that. He is creating this alternative reality and getting away with it because nobody calls him on it and even if they do, he vehemently denies it.
I really can't take this anymore. I'm about to lose it.
