The American gov is a complete lie.
They're all the same.
Trump, clinton, bush, obama. They're all bullsh1t artists.
Trump is in a league of his own regarding lying. NO ONE lies like Trump. pollies lie at times. trump however tells the truth... sometimes.
Trump lies instinctively. Recall him denying that he told a dead veteran's wife her husband knew what he signed up for.
Nothing to worry about, but Trump refused to stand by his own words. Instead, he pretended he never said it, just as he pretended he never said Obama bugged him, or Obama was born in Kenya, or he does a great deal of business in Russia.
Trump's default position is to lie, and he even promotes this in the Art of the Deal as "truthful hyperbole". Trump's ghostwritten self-help books then go on to promote the benefits of lying and self promotion. For Trump, the lie is critical to his entire world view, his way of life. He genuinely believes lies made him what he is today, and for good reason: they have.
I'd just like to know why Trump supporters back this. Why don't they feel cheated when Trump feeds them a line?
