WAPO has been and will continue to track Trump’s false/ misleading claims made.

They have identified 4,229 false/ misleading claims in 588 days.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.db8b6332ebd2

I sometimes listen to WGN Talk Radio while driving. Scaramucci was a call in guest. He said Trump could probably get a 20 point bump in the polls if he laid off Twitter and instead let the economy speak for itself. He went on to say that Trump values loyalty - people who agree with him , no matter fact or fiction. A true loyalist would tell Trump what he needed to hear instead of what he wanted to hear.

He is a narcissist
He can't resist talking about himself

Whether what he says is the truth (99.9% not) or an easy to spot lie, Trump lives to be in the news, get attention, and brag about himself...
The fact that he is talking, tweeting doesn't have anything to do with whether he is innocent or guilty--
The fact that he CANNOT tell the truth is just symptomatic of his malignant narcissism

Those of us who see Trump for what he is might think he is doing all this because he is afraid of Mueller--and some of it might be--but I have come to think that Trump just can't NOT be "on" all the time

The one thing he really has NOT Tweeted or spoken out against personally is Avenatti
I don't know what Avenatti or Daniels might have against Trump but it is something big

Guiliani has been talking trash about Avenatti and now Cohen--but not Trump
For me, Trump keeping away from bashing Avenatti speaks louder than a Grateful Dead concert
Yep. ALL of the above...and definitely the last line. Most can read him like a book.

Just waiting for the END, which is not soon enough.

I could not find one report of him playing even one honest game.
Not that this is surprising.. what a waste of human flesh..

And what fun...who would want to play with him, anyway?

Now that is being logical and knowledgeable. I will hang my hat on the number of 'angry democrats' reaching 29 by the end of September.



Obviously, Donald JOHN Trump lacks awareness of the Fibronacci sequence (as do I), but that does not negate the prediction.

It's a progression that appears often in nature and is subliminally pleasing to humans. There is a reason you picked it.

Not sure there is a word that can describe how pleasurable it will be to watch Trump go into full meltdown mode before he is removed from office or quits. City-Data Trumplings are going to burn this place down.

In another thread, I noted the Dunning-Kruger Effect.



Essentially, it is the theory that you have stupid people that think they are smart. Yet, they are not smart, but they are too stupid to know that they are not smart. Hence, they think that they know all, whereas in reality they know nothing.



Here is a link to the actual paper by Mr. Dunning and Mr. Kruger:



http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc...=rep1&type=pdf


It explains a lot of why Trump supporters support Mr. Trump despite his numerous falsehoods.



I will, in future, when a Trump supporter makes an illogical argument, simple reply "Dunning-Kruger Effect", and let it go.

However, 22 is a suspicious number. So, I think Our President will go for a more soothing number, such as 26, or perhaps an angry number, such as 29.

Of course, Mr. Trump may simply decide to double the number, to 34. It is easy to do, and is a 'good' number.
Ha! I v listened to so much of Trump speaking that your post was very easy to read😜😜👍
