Trump obviously doesnt understand that he lacks credibility on everything

There really isn’t anything that he won’t lie about and there’s no reason why anyone should take his word on anything.

The deeper he digs, the harder it is to get out of that hole he constantly puts himself in.

Of course, he’d never take such advice, but his best course of action is to shut the fuck up whenever he’s rightfully criticized.

The worst part is that, most of the time, he’s nothing more than a distraction from more important things in the world. In his case, that would be everything else.

The first and last questions that we should be asking every day is what have we missed because we were too focused on Trump’s bullshit?

Anyhoo, as always, FDT.

As long as it makes Democrats or liberals look bad, they eat it up with a spoon.

Many of his supporters know he lies, but believe he lies for a greater cause: Make America White Again

One clause in his deal with the devil requires him to tell a lie at least every ten minutes. If he goes ten minutes without lying, his hair falls out and his teeth turn purple. Give the poor manbaby a break--he has to lie.

One in five will always stick with him. One in five stuck with Nixon, and one in five will always stick with him. Solid republicans who don't care about anything but keeping power for the "ruling class"..and we know who that "ruling class" is. No matter what he does, it will be 20 percent for him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect


In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude.

Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence
