Why the lies? Trump and Santos are/were sure that they could and would ..."Get Away With It"

[Stuart G]

It is that simple. Trump is running for President of the United States, & has lied consistently about almost everything.
This fellow: Santos lied about almost "everything" and got elected. He has admitted to the lies, and will "now do a good job"

..........Why? It is simple: Both are absolutely sure, "That they can get away with it."...................

............If Trump had "doubts", he would NOT run. Trump lied about the pandemic, and called it a "hoax." That lie killed people. If Trump cared, he wouldn't run. If he had doubts that he could get away with it, he wouldn't run.
He is sure that he, "Can gat away with it" He doesn't care, he wants the power again. It is that simple.

One last thought. Con artists are like that. "They are sure that they can get away with it"

1. It's not like they have been proven wrong.

If we want them, or others like them, to stop being like that, we will have to prove them wrong. Definitively, aggressively, quickly. And we haven't thus far.

2. Why the lies? They have no accountability. They can and probably will get away

with their bullshit.

3. Two words are correct: "No accountability." One more word is significant "bullshit." Thanks You!

4. So far they have gotten away with it

and are living the high life.
Is honesty really the best policy ?

5. They're sure they can get away with it...until they can't.

Santos is now in the “…and find out” phase of his career. TFG soon to follow.

6. I like that term a lot, "..find out phase of his career." Thank You ...regnaD kciN

7. I think Santos is a pathological liar. He can't stop himself from doing it.

8. I believe you are right..."pathological liar"..
