Trump Insisting Alabama At Risk From Dorian He Lives Within His Own Reality | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. “Trump struck me as adolescent, hilariously ostentatious, arbitrary, unkind, profane, dishonest, loudly opinionated, and consistently wrong,” Bowden wrote last year in Vanity Fair, recalling his time profiling Trump. “He remains the most vain man I have ever met. And he was trying to make a good impression.”
    — Mark Bowden, author of Blackhawk Down

    “Lying is second nature to him. More than anyone else I have ever met, Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true.
    He said that Trump had no ideology or beliefs, except that he should prevail in the end.

    “Trump’s temperament and his habits have hardened with age.” Schwartz said. “He was always cartoonish, but compared with the man for whom I wrote The Art of the Deal 30 years ago, he is significantly angrier today: more reactive, deceitful, distracted, vindictive, impulsive and, above all, self-absorbed.”
    “Every American ought to be concerned about his character.” Schwartz said.

    –Tony Schwartz, the ghost writer for Trump’s book “The Art of the Deal”:

    1. David J : I can’t believe that Trump won’t just let it go? Is he REALLY too stupid to see how . . . well . . . STUPID he looks? I kept saying, a long time back, “Everything about Trump and his Troll Army makes sense, when you understand that he and they have one goal; DIVIDE America.” That’s why his Troll’s, “arguments,” are always so easy to crush. Because it doesn’t matter. Their ONLY objective is to stir hatred, through racism, cruelty, sexism, etc. But, I was genuinely shocked to see this? Trump should have just moved on? WHY cling to being abjectly WRONG? Is he finally unravelling? 🤔👍

    2. @Ash Roskell Trump strikes me as long since unraveled to the point that he thinks he’s doing fantastic for his brand and the US.

    3. Ash Roskell
      This is what makes him mentally unfit for office, that and the fact that he possibly has every character flaw known to mankind.

    4. John Swofford & David J : I guess it’s all but impossible to find the right term for it, because no matter how bad he gets, the GOP lie and spin, and Trump’s Trolls just carry on doing their job of Dividing America, regardless. But, I’m trying to find the term which describes the point at which even the GOP find Trump too unmanageable? The point at which they give up, and are unable to even try to, “justify,” Trump’s actions any longer? It seems that we are reaching that point, because of the confluence of the economy unraveling as a consequence of Trump’s actions, combined with Trump getting emotionally out of hand, because he knows it? It may be that our Trumpectomy will be painful. But, that will do us good, in the long run ✌️👍

    1. “Why don’t we nuke this hurricane while he is on All Obama? I am stable genius” I think you are right.

    1. I’ve NEVER referred to him as a president! He’s a *mentality unfit pathological liar* who shouldn’t even be NEAR the White House!

    2. First, of all, he is, “the president”, he is more ego, than brains, but still, is the president. He’s, dumb, and, thank you, for letting us…no

    1. John 8:44
      “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

    1. i think he does realize them on some level (thus feeding his insecurity), but his pathological narcissism keeps him from ever being able to publicly admit when he makes even a tiny mistake. I’ve literally never heard him genuinely say the words ‘sorry’ or ‘i misspoke’. Ever.

    1. let’s not be fair….there is nothing fair about toxic trump, barr, etc NOTHING….they all need to be ousted….they are infecting our government with sleazy, unAmerican behaviors. Just look at the disreputable barr……we need to clean out the republican party and we will when next we vote…..VOTE THEM OUT

    2. Look at that map everyone knows he uses a Sharpie, to sign his bills when asked about it he LIES AND THIS IS WHO YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW !

    1. He’s monster he already is taking food from the school too, and is messing with our teachers and our soldiers, and kids in cages he’s just awful

    2. Dear Leader the most scandalous thing he did was wear a tan suit lol , Obama was to my opinion an example to follow

  2. The so called new normal is actually an abnormal behavior, and a level of extreme dysfunction in this administration.
