It must be tiring and mind-numbing.
It may be tiring and mind-numbing for his supporters to hear every lie enumerated. There are so many lies (sigh).

What shocked me in this particular meeting was his assertion that the noise from windmills causes cancer. And if a windmill is built near your property, your property plummets in value by 75%. Hmmm........

He lies because he can. There are no repercussions. Any news service that calls him on it is labeled "Fake News". Anyone who points it out are accused of having TDS. His loyal followers either don't care, or believe everything that comes out of his mouth.

Agreed.

There are definitely some mental deficiencies there.

Trump has serious issues with reality. That's been obvious for a while. As a private nurse for end stage dementia patients I can see similarities. The primary difference is dementia is generally loss of memory, not made up new ones.

Nice try - but you didn't ask whether said family member was "blood" (he isn't). Interestingly enough, he has german ancestry but somehow only took the bad parts (his GF was a mean guy, but at least somewhat accomplished).

No, it's not about policy - if it was you would be able to count the major legislation that Trump has passed. About zero.

Being more specific, for you it seems to be about "what he lies about concerning policy" or "bigly words and threats" about policy,

There is a difference between reality and Reality TV.

This is where the disconnect is between authoritarians and logic/reason/proof. Authoritarians believe what their "current authority figures" say. Reasonable people use measurements.

This is why Trump is rated dead last among all POTUS in history. That judgement is not something which moves very much up and down....it just is, because it measures actual reality as concerns our Constitution and progression as a free people.

It's one thing that ALL "sides" agree upon:
"even among Republicans, Trump was ranked quite unfavorably. Respondents who identified as Republicans or conservatives ranked Trump 40th out of 44 presidents. Self-described Democrats and liberals both ranked him last."

https://www.businessinsider.com/grea...entists-2018-2

Even partisans like yourself can step back and wonder "how is it that I rate him as one of the best...and yet everyone else rates him as the worst?".

There has to be a disconnect there. We're not talking about whether someone is #2 or #5 or in the middle of the pack. We are talking about a complete cognitive disconnect and opposite world.

Putin would rate him highly tho. So would Duerte, so there is that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor...survey_results

As I'm sure other realize, to be dead last in anything takes some doing. A monkey will score 33 1/3% in a 3 question multiple choice. While GW was the first POTUS in recent history I could definitively say I know MUCH than (in most every subject), Trump makes GWB look like a capable genius.

Another lie. No surprise. His idiot followers will still believe it. They can't distinguish between the real truth and fantasy.
