i watched that press conference. Knowing all the false statements he was making was stomach churning. I felt embarrassed.

Trump knows that maintaining his appeal to his Base comes from practicing the behaviors that they seem to value the most.

Wonder if Trump's misidentification of his father's birthplace comes from compulsive lying or an addled memory?

No doubt it was just a slip of the tongue.

Like when he said that journalists should look at the 'oranges' of the Mueller investigation.

Why does anyone still take this idiot seriously?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
