Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) doesnt trust Donald Trump to do what he said hell do. Though Trump has upset his conservative base by saying he would not sign a federal abortion ban into law if he were president, Newsom told MSNBCs Jen Psaki he doesnt think those words hold much weight.
Hes a liar. Hes a liar, the governor said during his stop by Inside with Jen Psaki. Hes not telling you the truth. Hes not level setting. Hell say whatever he needs to say on any day of the week.
Noting how Trumps three Supreme Court picks paved the way for the fall of Roe v. Wade, Newsom said, Hes created these conditions. Hes celebrated those conditions. Hell say whatever he needs to say at a given moment, the governor went on.
Newsom told Psaki he has no doubt Trump would sign a national abortion ban if it were able to make its way through congress somehow. You know, he will. And everybody again knows that, Newsom said. You cant trust this person by any stretch of the imagination.

(390 posts)Actually, his lies will probably get worse as his legal desperation grows.
He is only running for president to stay out of federal prison.
A famous screenwriter and novelist, William Goldman wrote a book called Which Lie Did I Tell?
That would be an appropriate title to Trump's life.
According to Washington Post, he told about 31000 when President alone.
That is about 21 a day.

Their lies seem to have no clear benefit
While a person might lie to avoid an uncomfortable situation, such as embarrassment or getting in trouble, a pathological liar tells lies or stories that dont have an objective benefit. Friends and family can find this especially frustrating because the person lying doesnt stand to gain anything from their lies.
The stories they tell are usually dramatic, complicated, and detailed
Pathological liars are great storytellers. Their lies tend to be very detailed and colorful. Even though obviously over-the-top, the pathological liar may be very convincing.
They usually portray themselves as the hero or victim
Along with being made the hero or victim in their stories, pathological liars tend to tell lies that seem to be geared at gaining admiration, sympathy, or acceptance by others.
They sometimes seem to believe the lies they tell
A pathological liar tells lies and stories that fall somewhere between conscious lying and delusion. They sometimes believe their own lies. Its difficult to know how to deal with a pathological liar who may not always be conscious of their lying. Some do it so often that experts believe they may not know the difference between fact and fiction after some time.
