He’s manifesting. No, really: https://youtu.be/GuNNwZdqFms
It really feels like we live in Groundhog Day sometimes. Yeah, the motherfucker has no grasp on reality. Welcome to 2015.
Leaving out dementia concerns, surround yourself with sycophantic yes men and dire anyone who says things you don’t like, and yeah, you’ll find yourself completely out of touch.
Then add the reality that he’s got dementia and is a sociopath and pathological liar - and now you’re cookin’ with MAGA!
Yeah most of us are pretty sure whatever semblance of it he ever had is long gone
Wolfers, a frequent economic commentator, said Trump’s statements reflect something more troubling than a bad policy take. “I don’t understand the logic of looking us in the eye and telling us an outright falsehood,” he said.
Hahahaha!!!
He’s just lying dude. There’s nothing to be that shocked about. I figure a Brookings economist would be familiar with these things. Maybe not since neoliberals seem to have some sort of massive aversion to ever contemplating material reasons for these things.
And he lies because it works. There’s an absolutely absurd percentage of Americans - a majority, if I’m not feeling generous - who believe the crap he spews, no matter how untethered from reality and easily disprovable it is.
Trump will do anything to get what he wants, and sometimes - rarely - that includes telling the truth. But he lies most often because his audience loves being lied to.
It is more that economics is almost entirely bullshitting and so this Brookings economist is just not capable of detecting the ocean they swim in.
It’s ok, we’ll just keep piling on more winning moves.
He’s a LIAR. He LIES.
Do the fucking math.
