Trump is having difficulty juggling so many lies

[Demovictory9]

Uh-oh. President Trump is in such a state of panic about his dimming reelection prospects that he’s getting his lies mixed up and occasionally blurting out the truth.

“It’s tough for Apple to pay tariffs if it’s competing with a very good company [Samsung] that’s not,” the president told reporters Sunday — flatly contradicting the ridiculous and utterly false narrative that he has spent months trying to sell. Trump apparently forgot his standard lie that China is somehow paying “billions of dollars” in tariffs, acknowledging instead that they are taxes paid by U.S. companies and, ultimately, the American consumer.

This reflects more than just the difficulty of juggling multiple lies. Evidence suggests that Trump is melting down. Again.

And for good reason.

1. Just like the weak-ass little failure, sad excuse for a human that he is ...

He's such a failing, pathetic, weak little pathological narcissist, and so completely out of his depth in his job ...

2. The lies are for his base.

And they will still believe them no matter what. The rest of us know he lies all the time. So his contradicting himself really doesn’t make any difference.

3. I noticed that too. He barely caught himself when he said he was calling all the shots at Faux, he

covered up saying it was about the debates.

4. It's really not about juggling lies.

It's that he always believes whatever he says when he is saying it. He has no concept of any kind of factual truth. He simply makes up whatever he wants, whenever he wants. And if five minutes later he says something totally different, he has already forgotten the first statement and is convinced that whatever just came out of his mouth is true.

He's also remarkably ignorant. No sense of history, let alone more subtle subjects like math, geography, or, I dunno, plate tectonics. It would be very interesting to see his actual grades from any point in his school years. Or to read a paper he wrote. If said paper is in anyway coherent, I'd tend to think he didn't write it. It's obvious he has basically never read a book. He may not have even bothered with the Cliff Notes.

And never forget that he is serenely convinced that he is always the smartest person in the room.

5. Melt down?

Yes Please!

And if it was followed by an instance of Spontaneous Human Combustion, so much the better. Less to clean up afterwards.
