He makes no distinction between truth and lies when it comes from his lips. They're just words used to serve his agenda or his ego, and truth is simply irrelevant.

OTOH, words coming at him from the other direction are branded as true if they promote his ego/agenda and false if they don't. Again, truth itself is irrelevant. It's all about him all the time. There are no higher principles to which he will adhere.

It is comforting to see that the same bunch of goof balls that got Trump elected to begin wit are intact. Keep up the good work Don, Finn, Rajoo, etc.

I will admit that I was not aware that the administration is working like a well oiled machine. With a rod knock maybe... Also I wasn't aware that Flynn is a victim of fake news.
Fox News strikes again I reckon.

Deal with it.
Problem is that it is important to trump. He needs to believe that he is the best, the biggest and the baddest. If the facts do not support his opinion of himself, he will ignore them or label them fake news.

I don't think that Don or Finn would want to be associated with my political beliefs and besides, I bet on Trump to win.

You have political beliefs? I thought you didn't care.

No. He side-stepped the responsibly buck by blaming someone else. "It's what I was given."
Classic Trump. Classic NPD.

You're goddamned right it was amazing!

Trump kicked some ass in that press conference.

And those butt hurt shills that call themselves journalists had every bit of coming and then some.

Go Trump!
BFD!!!
When Trump does something that is outside his normal behavior, I might take an interest, otherwise this is all old news. Completely predictable from a spoiled brat child tyrant.
