Why do people even waste their time talking to this con man?

1. I can't understand why the news media report everything he says, they know right away. They're publishing lies.

2. He thinks he's still on Apprentice.

He comes up with a new show every day. The editors tell their reporters to cover the sideshow, so they do. Until people start ignoring those daily sideshows, they will continue to go to them and do the report on the Bearded Lady and the Human Pinhead. But the most important show is the main event, into which Trump will ride an elephant. I can't wait for the circus to leave town!

8. He lacks the executive brain functions necessary to distinguish reality

From his own fantasies.

[Haggard Celine]

9. I agree.

He's in his own reality. He thinks he can say something and it will become the truth. Donald is deeply disturbed. It is dangerous as Hell to have someone like that with any power, much less the most powerful job in the world. He's about to send us all into the cornfield.

3. It's a tactic, not stupidity

He knows exactly what he's doing.

4. You're probably right

But does he realize how toopid he looks? Actually he gets that way when he is known to lie.

6. Nah, he's a moron who thinks people a re buying his shtick.

Apparently some are.

5. Stupid? Fascist and Mafia playbooks.

Hire gunsels to do the dirty work and blame them for everything.

Or just "Muskle" men.

7. See this post linked below: He believes it becasue Stephen Miller told him TWICE in Oval mtg with Bukele.
