73. Yes, he's become too comfortable

lying about anything and everything. I think he honestly believes there will never be any repercussions.

Back in 2016, you could tell that even HE was amazed that he could do or say anything and "not lose any votes". When he made that comment about shooting someone on 5th Avenue, you could tell he was honestly surprised, like he'd found some magic wand.

Meanwhile, I think he starts to believe the crap he says. He seems to have no grasp of reality whatsoever.
