How would you describe Donald Trump. A con man, con artist, opportunist,

used car salesman, lunatic, all of the above. It i really hard to describe trump. Con men or con artists are usually very good at lying. Trump sucks at lying. He lies and doesn't care people know he is lying. He lies without thinking about.

Yes, trump did fool millions of people to become president but what was his real goal. Did he even have a goal. I think he was surprised he won.

I'm not sure trump could describe himself.

"President" @realDonaldTrump: You truly are an evil man. Your job is to help Americans. Not intentionally try to destroy their lives.

Bill Maher did a funny bit on Friday night comparing drumpf to those guys on the infomercials. It was perfect.

Hitler so confidant...underestimated the Soviet Union...invaded...

Hitler.. thought Hitler would keep his word...

Mr. Birther role in 2012. It looks like the Russians bought him and his debt. But Trump isn't the only problem, Nunes is in Congress, there must be one or two more there and in other places in our government.

Not really good for anything, causes great pain when he acts up, and needs to be removed as soon as possible.

unable to recognize his own lack of skill
unable to recognize the extent of his inadequacy
unable to accurately gauge skill in others

Too stupid to recognize how stupid he really is

And he is very good at lying. Precisely because of the reason you indicate: "He lies and doesn't care people know he is lying". There are very few people who can do this as well as he does.
