He doesn't realize the world sees and knows he's lying - the exception, of course, are his idiots supporters and offsprings. Many if not most rethugians Congressional pigs & those in his admin know he's lying but do not care because they, like him, are sociopaths just there to line their pockets.

And then there's his unbelievable condescension; he must have only associated with idiots & bootlicking yes-men his entire life.

He's calling U.S. Intelligence "fake news."

Here's what I learned in journalism school:

1. Ask a question.
2. Listen to the answer.
3. If the interviewee doesn't answer the question, ask the same question again.

Repeat until your question is answered.

I'll give the interviewer a B+ because he stayed focused until the last questions, when he switched from Russia paying bounties on U.S. soldiers to Russia providing the Taliban with weapons.

Trump is the ultimate con man. Look for his next ghost-written book, "The Art of the Con."
