Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This author shouldn't even have to be asking this question 😂
Yes.

I don't think trump understands truth and untruth as concepts. He just says whatever he thinks will get him closer to whatever short-term goal currently manifested in his reptile-brain.
It is hard to believe this is a serious question. He is continually lying.
I find it a fair question. Even before trump so often the great question is stupidity or lying. Its been the great question of the republican party for decades now and its hard because its clearly both. but probably more lying but not 100%, some is stupidity.
I hate that the caption is misspelled.
I recently celebrated my 70th birthday with my family on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. If in this column, I declared that tens of thousands of people were at my birthday party and that rainbow-colored dolphins joined the festivities, my editor would no longer let me write this column.
Why is a 78-year-old presidential candidate held to a different and lower standard than a 70-year-old ink-stained newspaperman?
Juan Williams is an author and a political analyst for Fox News Channel.
Fox News author. Oh how the tables have turned :D
That's like asking of a person who repeatedly punches you in the face "are they doing this out of hatred?"
In other words, it's really focusing on the wrong aspect; his motive is immaterial since he will never even consider stopping until he finally croaks.
Yes
What does it matter? Either way he is UNFIT to have access to launch codes.
That orange shitstain is the epitome of "bought his own hype"
Deluded doesn't even come close.
His ability to believe his own lies is what makes him appear "authentic" to the morons.
Sometimes one, sometimes the other, oftentimes both. He's fully capable of inventing a reality in his head on the spot and believing whatever he's spewing to be true.
This is one of my favorite Trump stories.
The tl, dr is that back in the day he had a chance to endear himself to the Manhattan elites. Instead, he let his stupidity, greed, and arrogance make him anathema to the people he was so desperate to impress.
If sounds are coming out of his talk hole, he's lying. On top of that, he is also deluded, he actively lies, but I think he also believes a lot of his lies because its comforting.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Yes
