He lies so much he cannot keep track of them, and cannot tell the difference between truth and fiction.

I think much of his incessant lying is more to create "noise" and misdirection - similar to the way that military aircraft release hot-burning flares as countermeasures to distract heat-seeking missiles from homing in on their craft.  The more noise that's out there, the less attention is paid to his actual intentions and/or actions.

Space aliens and their fiendish mind control? Trump as a malfunctioning android with bad AI? What is the f%*#in' point of his claiming not to know Whitaker?
How can anyone take pride or pleasure in lying so much? This guy is a freak. Have any of us ever encountered a person like Trump who cannot tell the truth for even a moderate period?

Trump claims he doesn’t know his new acting attorney general. A month ago he said he did.

Shapiro noticed that frames in the tweeted video were frozen to slow down the action, allowing it to run the same length as the AP one.

The alteration is "too precise to be an accident," said Shapiro, who trains instructors to use the software. The tweeted video also does not have any audio, which Shapiro said would make it easier to alter.

Sanders, who has not said where the tweeted video came from, said it clearly shows Acosta made contact with the intern.

While the origin of the manipulated video is unclear, its distribution marked a new low for an administration that has been criticized for its willingness to mislead.

“people don’t understand tax returns.”

Trump’s Press Conference Was Nutty, Self-Absorbed, and Full of Lies
The president dismissed the public’s election rebuke and stabbed his allies in the back. And that was just the start.

If you can't (or refuse to) grasp the context of the original statement, then it's really not an insult so much as an accurate descriptor.

He still hasn't called democrat voters deplorable or irredeemable (and worse) such as democrats have called ordinary republicans in general. 

Maybe I missed it.  Tell me when and how he has slandered ordinary democrat voters as a whole group.

Trump insults everyone. Remember Kizr and Ghazala Khan, the Pakistani-American parents of slain US Army Captain Humayan Khan? The parents whom Trump disrespected? Yeah, what a surprise you forgot. 


Is Stormy Daniels a politician? Trump called her "horseface." How many people has Trump called an idiot or ugly or sad? Christ, you can't even keep track of all the hate and viciousness that spews out of his mouth. And the whole way he's characterized the people in the caravan as murderers, rapists, thugs, Lord even Islamic terrorists: those are insults too. 
 


No, Democrats don't insult all of Trump's supporters, or even some of them all the time. But when adults refuse to acknowledge facts and embrace a non-stop liar who lies again when he claims to work to promote their best interests, the rest of us wonder why and how those adults can be so delusional. 

Drain the swamp? Jesus, what a joke.

Bring back coal? Not happening and never will. 

Massive infrastructure projects to help economically struggling areas? Not even on the horizon. 

Tax cut reform? Sure for the top 1%—really, more like the top 0.1% . 

Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed, kurtster: Mitch McConnell and other GOP leaders are quietly talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare benefits to pay for that $1.5 budget deficit caused by the tax cut. So Trump and Co. are going to try and ream YOU. 

Health care reform? Trump and the GOP are still working hard to dismantle the ACA and replace it with sham insurance policies. 

You cry and cry and cry about how liberals are disrespecting you when Trump is practically stripping the clothes off of your back. You are stuck in a story of victimhood that Trump and the GOP dreamed up for you—even though they're the ones victimizing you.

Oh, and pundits and public figures, yes.  I kinda lumped them in with politicians.

Doesn't change the fact that democrats are insulting everyone and anyone who dares to just support Trump.  You see it here all the time as well.

Democrats are insulting everyone.  Trump and his supporters.  We are treated as one and the same.

At 11:02 a.m. on Monday, after the Donald J. Trump for President campaign announced that Sean Hannity would appear at his rally on the eve of the midterm elections, the prime-time star of Fox News posted a Shermanesque tweet: “I will not be on the stage campaigning with the president.”

A few hours later, in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Rush Limbaugh’s hometown, Mr. Hannity was on the stage campaigning with the president.
