LOL @ anybody who voted no. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Hell, in the last 10 days or so, he's lied about Mexico calling him, he's lied about the Boy Scouts calling him, and he lied about "consulting with top generals" before announcing the Transgender ban.

Trump is absolutely a pathological liar. He lies about things that don't even matter.

Of course he is -- always has been. Even the most devoted Trump supporter will smile and admit that he's Trump.

“Well, he doesn’t lie,” Coulter said, but she couldn’t finish that thought with a straight face. She admitted that Trump has “lied one time,” but wouldn’t say which time that was. “He doesn’t lie, he’s a B.S.-er, an exaggerator.”

Big problem for the left.. they don't know opinion from fact... everyone is entitled to their opinion including Donald Trump.. the sicko lefties love to pounce on any opinion Trump presents..

If Trump said that is a big crowd, the left would say, no it isn't.. even it is 30,000 people.. yet Hilldabeast had a small gathering and the left media would say Hillary had a large sizable crowd with 200 people.. we know the left are loons.. they prove it every day.

Politicians all lie or stretch the truth, at times. W/ this President, however, it's blatant and the lies can be verified as lies very quickly. It's over the top lying I guess you'd say.

Characteristics

Defining characteristics of pathological lying include:
  • The stories told are usually dazzling or fantastical, but never breach the limits of plausibility, which is key to the pathological liar's tactic. The tales are not a manifestation of delusion or some broader type of psychosis—on confrontation, the teller can admit they are untrue, even if unwillingly.
  • The fabricative tendency is chronic. It is not provoked by the immediate situation or social pressure so much as it is an innate trait of the personality. There is some element of dyscontrol present.
  • A definitely internal, not an external, motive for the behavior can be discerned clinically: e.g., long-lasting extortion or habitual spousal battery might cause a person to lie repeatedly, without the lying being a pathological symptom.
  • The stories told tend toward presenting the liar favorably. The liar "decorates their own person"[3] by telling stories that present them as the hero or the victim. For example, the person might be presented as being fantastically brave, as knowing or being related to many famous people, or as having great power, position, or wealth.
Pathological lying may also present as false memory syndrome, where the sufferer genuinely believes that fictitious (imagined) events have taken place. Sufferers may believe they have accomplished superhuman feats or awe-inspiring acts of altruism and love—or have committed equally grandiose acts of diabolical evil, for which they must atone or already have atoned in their fantasies

Fits the media and most politicians well. Liberals have exceeded it by offering fantasy ideas.

The left base their opinions on the liberal-biased media, and when anyone counters their belief that President Trump is not being truthful, they attempt to validate their claims by repeating the exaggerated and false statements made daily by the media.

Plus, in many cases they have no proof so they just start with the inane name calling and insults.

To you, any news article that does not confirm your worldview is based upon a liberal biased media, but that is not necessarily the case.

Can you think of anything which has been reported about the Trump campaign or the Trump White House which the white house admitted was true later?

What about lies? Can you think of any lies promoted by Trump or his surrogates which he had to walk back later?


Think about it.
