He may have a mental condition where he doesn't know some truth from lies. A pathological liar like him has a sickness. That's why his handlers told him that he could not talk to Mueller or he would end up in an orange jumpsuit because he can't help but lie
Can you imagine this being said about any other president in history, that he is unable to testify about his actions because he is incapable of telling the truth, and have him still remain the president? We live in scary times.

This. He cannot go under oath because he is incapable of refraining from lying.

That's whats wrong with people as to why they allow him to get away with this stuff, because "they take too much as a pun and a joke".... It's exactly what is meant by "People Acquiesce"... and the more they do so, the more they embolden Trump... because he see's it as an "endorsement".

This man sits in the seat of the American Presidency.... the damaging impact of what he says, damages America !!!!

People better figure out that it's not a joke....

(..... maybe this can help some learn how not to be lost in trying to water stuff down....

I agree with your points, but bringing up Hitler has a way of shutting down discourse.

While the video is funny, it is also terrifying.

Bringing up Hitler, is exactly what's needed when the parallels are so evident. See, and take note, as to how Maxine Waters, speaks the truth UN-apologetically, (you should read the link in post #37 - "this") and you will understand why she does, and it may help one more clearly see why "word play" is not conducive to the Respect that American Democracy must have. She does not engage in word play, she calls its like it is as being what it is. Society can learn much from learning to do so. (And let go of the "watered down aims of diversions and deflections" as so many do, in aim to minimize the truths)

The discourse should always address truths that are evident, those who shut down and avoid discourse, seeks to avoid truths that are overtly evident.

I want people to listen to what he says.

If I titled this thread "Look, Trump is like Hitler", fewer Trump fans would bother reading it or watching the video.

There was a great podcast about Trumps reality TV Show and how many of the more clueless people watching it actually believed it had a basis in reality (or, more accurately, they KNEW it was real...in their minds).

It's amazing to hear the interviews because the "wanna be" contestants honestly live in a world where TV is real and acting and entertainment aren't what they are called.

I guess after Jerry Springer and that sort of thing nothing should surprise us.

Trump probably knows less about "things in general" than most people posting here...and that's saying something.
