In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump:"Inflation, I've already taken care of. Prices are way down for everything. Groceries, everything." [View all]littlemissmartypants
(29,250 posts)77. Pathological and compulsive liar. He can't tell the truth without
conscious effort or if he happens to do it accidentally. He literally lies upon exhalation. That's how much a part of his natural state it is as is with every psycho/sociopath.
The only reason I mentioned sociopaths is they are suspected to have developed the disorder with some influence from society.
Psychopaths, and I believe that he is one, are as Lady Gaga would say, born this way. Which goes so far as to suggest genetic and neuro structural with physiological components. But I digress.
Basically, he's pure evil.
I have first hand, long term knowledge of dealing with these deviants and I am extremely worried about us all.
Characteristics of Psychopaths
1. Aggressive, callous, and cunning
2. Complete absence of conscience and empathy
3. Very adept at manipulating others
4. Willingness to engage in immoral, criminal conduct
5. Willingness to take what they want and do as they please, regardless of who is hurt or wronged
6. Deceptive ability to appear outwardly benevolent
7. Deceptive ability to behave in superficially charming ways to hide purely selfish motives
8. Willingness to use intimidation and violence to control others in order to satisfy their own needs
9. Willingness to intentionally violate the basic inherent human rights of others
10. Complete absence of any sense of guilt or remorse for the harm their actions have caused to others
11. Rationalization of their own immoral behavior
12. Will attempt to lay blame upon someone else for their own conduct
13. Denial, will deny their own wrongdoing outright
14. Utter contemptuousness toward the feelings and desires of their fellow beings
15. Pathological lying, will say anything without any concern for truth to advance their own hidden agendas
16. Ablity to feign [fake] normal human emotions and empathy
17. Distorted sense of the consequences of their actions
18. Total failure to accept any responsibility for their own socially irresponsible ways
19. Strong bellef that they will never be brought to justice for their criminal behavior

OP
The lies are getting bigger & possibly more numerous. It works until it doesn't. At tipping point will be rush for exits

Obviously that's not true. It's actually up a nickel since he took office, but down more than $0.30 from a year ago

The highest I ever saw it anywhere around here was $4.79 and that was in mid-2022.

Everyone around Trump tells him exactly what he wants to hear, otherwise they'd be fired.
