Does that "We" include the Trump Organization? IT's Blue Light specials made in China - where you can go missing if you investigate worker abuse?
Trump is one of those people who will tell you there's no "I" in team without realizing there is no "U" (you) either.

(4,187 posts)Trump is a narcissist. Narcissists lie. Whether something is true or not is not important to them. All that matters is their personal objective, which is to be the center of attention and to draw admiration from others. They will say anything to achieve that objective. They will lie whenever a lie is more convenient than the truth. In fact, even when the truth is not particularly inconvenient, they will still lie.
Trump is saying he will buy American and hire Americans because that's what his admirers want to hear. Whether he actually intends to buy American or hire Americans is neither here nor there. The truth just doesn't matter, as far as Trump is concerned.
Please, people, do a Google search about Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Stop being so puzzled by everything Trump does. He's a textbook narcissist. Once you realize that and understand what it means, everything he does will make sense to you.

(4,187 posts)But his behavior is completely understandable once you realize he's a narcissist. I think that people who don't have a personality disorder just have a hard time accepting that any human being could completely lack a conscience.
