This Is Why Trump Lies Like There’s No Tomorrow

[Into the Night]

"anger promotes the use of self-serving deception. The decision to engage in self-serving deception balances concern for oneself (i.e., self-interest) and concern for others (i.e., empathy). The greater concern individuals exhibit for themselves and the lower concern for others, the more deceitful they are likely to be.

they are more likely to deceive others. We find that angry individuals are less concerned about the welfare of others, and consequently more likely to exhibit self-interested unethical behavior. Across our studies, we link incidental anger to self-serving deception."

Seems the NY Times is describing Democrats, you, and itself.

You can ban me, then you wouldn't be humiliated so often.

Actually, he would.

More psycho-babble.

It's actually a pretty accurate description of the New York Times, Democrats and of BidenPresident.

Equally disturbing is Trump's ignorance, of which there are many examples.

When the President of the United States went around telling everyone that Lincoln was a Republican - but according to him most people didn't know it until he came along - was that a tactic too?

If so, WTH was the point of it?

Lincoln was a Republican. Trump is correct.

I used to crack up when conservatives would try to compare Obama to Trump when it came to lying, and always cited "you can keep your health plan" or whatever it was. 1 statement, that wasn't even really a lie.

It was a lie. Many health plans disappeared, and those that remained were radically changed. Fortunately, the Supreme Court detoothed this attempt at communism. What remained is collapsing from it's own weight.

It was "you can keep your doctor". That was a lie too. Many doctors did not join 'health plan networks'. If they did join, it wasn't on your network, and therefore no longer available to you. A lot of doctors retired rather than face the price controls government was forcing on them. Those doctors are not available either. The Supreme Court struck down most of Obamacare, but not before the damage had been done. Trump removed some more of it as well by executive order.

Trump has turned lying into such an art form. He's amazing at it. He lies like he breathes. Literally thousands of documented lies at this point.

I always say it, but conservatives have FOREVER ceded honesty as any kind of issue.

No, you cannot get away with projecting YOUR problem on someone else.

Lincoln was a Republican.

I know, and so do most people who graduated high school. So why did Trump go around telling everyone?

The likeliest answer is HE HAD JUST FOUND OUT, and being the sort of person he is, he assumed that most people didn’t know.

Did America have a Republican president who didn’t know until his seventies that Lincoln was a Republican?
