World's Preeminent Habitual Liar

And it ain't even close.

He can't be stopped.
And there's no hope in only trying to contain him.

“No, it wasn’t for that reason,” Trump told Time in the interview from Tuesday that was published Friday. “I’m doing that until we come up with the numbers that I want to come up with. I’ve met with a lot of countries. I’ve talked on the telephone. I don’t even want them to come in.”

Huh? "Numbers"?

As a person who for decades asked pointed, potentially damaging questions to persons in federal programs, I guess my next question might have been, "You be talkin' about tariff numbers or certain portfolio numbers there, bub?"

So lemme get this straight.

The potential/likely destruction of the world financial markets as we know them WASN'T the reason he BLINKED?

And he's expecting THAT 'splanation to be regarded as a GOOD thing?

Just curious. Did he also reiterate that he's "doesn't even know that woman" again?

    Exactly. Many of this is a cover to the public so he works on getting a large tax cut through quietly. Where are those GOP who cry about the ballooning deficit in Biden administration ? They all know it but are keeping quiet.

    When it comes to lies, we are witnessing a manufacturing Renaissance! Who says the U.S. doesn't make stuff (up) anymore?

    Paraphrasing:
    "Greatest 100 days of any administration ever."

    Translation of comments on markets:
    "PLEASE! I'm begging you! Invest in US stocks before the market completely crashes!"

    I watched approximately the first minute of the video but had to stop after Trump made this comment.
    "This week we're celebrating the most successful 100 days of any administration in American history."

    I wonder:
    a) does Trump believe his own BS?
    b) is Trump ingesting mind-altering drugs?
    c) or is Trump's mind just gone?

    Yes, yes and more yes but all of little importance. What is important is that his flock of devotees swallow it hook, line and sinker no matter how ludicrous or insane.

    The scheme is to distract us **hey, look over here, I'm ignoring the Constitution again** while he sits back and waits for kickbacks from foreign countries as well as US institutions (Universities, Law Firms, corporations, etc).

    Can bitcoin bribes even be traced? Man what they would find... if somebody actually LOOKED.
