What Kind of Pathological Liar Is Trump?

I’ll take a stab at answering yet another rhetorical question, this one posed by Lawrence O’Donnell.

He’s a pathological liar for whom lying is as natural as breathing for you and me.

Lying has taken Trump to the very top of the food chain in terms of money and power.  It’s a way of life that he has never thought to question, nor has he had the reason to.

It works because there have always been, regardless of how things may be going for Trump at any given moment, tens of millions of Americans who are intellectually incapable of distinguishing truth from lies.

Fortunately, this is all in the process of coming crashing down, as some of even the dullest minds are gradually catching on, and quietly disappearing from the ranks of his support base. How many hateful idiots showed up to support Trump while he was being arraigned in Miami?  About 1500.
