  • Trump is the master dissembler. At his rally in Mississippi his purpose is to undermine the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, the republican senators didn't dare question her directly. Now Trump lies about her testimony in order to undermine her allegations.
    He makes a play on Blasey Ford remembering that she had only one beer. Then by mis-representing her testimony he claims that "one beer" was the only thing she remembers. Trump lies when he says she can't remember the year, he lies when he says she can't remember the neighbourhood, he lies when he says she can't remember if it was upstairs or downstairs. Blasey Ford was very clear about what she remembered and what she could not remember. She could remember the year, the neighbourhood, that the assault happened on the 2nd floor of a suburban house and that it was Brett Kavanaugh who assaulted her.

  • I think Trump is not dishonest as much as he's just totally divorced from reality. He has his beliefs about how the world is and, in his view, the world must be like that, so that's how he tells it.

  • Agree that he is quite divorced from reality, but he is also a massive liar. He lies often and wilfully, about all kinds of things big and small and gets others to join in his lies.
