Burke: Why do so many swallow all the president's lies?

Why is my president a liar?

I don’t know why Donald J. Trump, the man, lies.

I mean, I can’t explain the reason he lies about almost everything.

Like the size of his crowds. (He claimed 21,000 filled the Orlando arena when he launched his 2020 campaign. And “a similar number” were outside. Photos showed no one outside.)

Or why he lies about Russia, NATO, having a great medical insurance plan for everyone, the wall, his infidelities, voter fraud, infrastructure, rape, his taxes, and the list goes on and on and on.

I don’t know what sort of psychological debilitation compels him to lie about things large and small. (Although we can conjecture his bone spurs lie was to duck Vietnam.)

So I don’t know if he’s sick, venal or just a coward.

But I do know why my president is a liar.

1. Simple...

1. they are not aware of the lies
2. if they are, they don't care.
3. if they hear Trump is lying, it is a conspiracy against Trump
4. they are utterly lacking in critical thinking skills and Trump's lies are true.

2. Because it's easier for his supporters to do that than to admit that their shitty lives are their

own fault.

Put down the meth, get up off your lazy white asses, do something worthwhile with your lives, and stop blaming other people for the way your life turned out so far.

Nope. They won't do that. Too much like effort...

3. They love his shit. They crave it.
