Whew boy, here we go again
Honed more than ever, right Mr.
Trump
Not even in office one week and thus this medical layman's analysis of our new President seems to be true with this short introduction and following post. I strongly believe it is both
timely and warranted at this point already in American presidential history. I hope you
will agree.
Documented Trail Trump Lies, Denial, Half-truths,
Deceit and Deception
Compulsive Lying:
Compulsive
lying often develops when individuals are very young and heightens with age
when more opportunities for fabrication are presented. Gradually throughout
childhood and adolescence into adulthood, lying becomes more and more frequent,
eliciting a sense of control in the affected individuals. They experience a
sense of power over situations when they lie and become uneasy and
uncomfortable when forced to tell the truth. Soon enough, dishonesty becomes
habit, which then leads to classification in the compulsive lying disorder
category.
Compulsive Lying Disorder: This is frequently confused with pathological lying,
but it’s important to recognize the difference between the two.
1.
Compulsive liars engage in
dishonesty because it is their automatic response to questions and situations.
2.
Pathological liars do so in
order to manipulate other people and achieve their goals with complete
disregard for the feelings of others.
However,
both compulsive and pathological lying is associated with antisocial
personality disorder, more commonly known as “psychopathic behavior.” For more
information about the various aspects of personality that can make an
individual more or less susceptible to developing disorders such as the ones
described above, take a look at this course on the
psychology of personality.
Tie this to Mr. Trump’s argument that the Affordable Care Act (ACA –
Obama-care) “doesn’t work and provides lousy healthcare.” He quoted former
President Bill Clinton as saying the ACA law is “crazy” and Minnesota Gov.
Mark Dayton as saying that the law “is no longer affordable.”
But, what Mr. Trump carefully, I am sure, neglected to say was that both those comments he cited were are lifted out of
context – here is how Fact
Check says so.
In
both cases, Trump shortened the quotes to present them in a light less
favorable than a fuller context reveals. Further, and in both cases above,
Clinton and Dayton made comments critical of the ACA, but both said they
remained supporters of the law and blamed Republicans for refusing to make
changes to improve it.
Thus,
I now more firmly believe and documentation proves me correct as well as
hundreds of others including medical experts that Donald J. Trump is one or
both or combination of the liars described above. Do you agree or not? That is
expanded on a bit more below:
Sociopathic Liars: Defined
as someone who lies continuously in an attempt to get their own way, without
showing care or concern for others. They are goal-oriented. Even though it might seem hard to believe,
lying is focused – they are focused on getting their own way. Sociopaths don’t have a lot of respect or
regard for the feelings and rights of others. They tend to be charismatic and
charming, but they will use their exceptional social skills in a self-centered
and manipulative manner.
Compulsive Liars: Defined
as someone who continually lies from sheer habit, and tends to be their normal
manner of responding to any questions from others. They will always bend the
truth, regardless of how small or large the question is. For them, telling the
truth doesn’t feel right. They are uncomfortable whenever they tell the truth,
while lying makes them feel right. Their lying is often thought to manifest
during childhood, due to being put into situations and environments where lying
became a necessity. Most of the time, compulsive liars aren’t cunning or
manipulative, rather they only lie because it has become such a habit for them.
Now
he is firmly office, a powerful position for him, which he thrives on and this BS (again):
His statement that he in fact the EC and popular vote due to illegals voting. Now this again from him and further supported by his new W/H Press Secretary, Sean
Spicer about that massive voter fraud – illegals and others voting for Hillary
Clinton seen from here:
The White House doubled down
on Tuesday, defending President Donald Trump's claim that millions of people
committed voter fraud in the November election, even though this claim has
largely been debunked.
During Tuesday (Jan 24) daily press briefing, ABC News' Cecilia Vega asked Spicer if Trump believes that millions voted illegally and what
evidence does the White House have of widespread voter fraud.
Spicer: “The
president does believe that. He has
stated that before. I think he's stated his concerns of voter fraud and people
voting illegally during the campaign and he continues to maintain that belief
based on studies and evidence people have presented to him.”
Note: Trump
first made claims of widespread voter fraud almost immediately after the
election was over, tweeting that there was “serious voter fraud” and he would
have won the “popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted
illegally.” (Note: Refer to the two tweet extracts above).
Further and according to Politico, Mr. Trump repeated those same
beliefs to congressional leaders during a private meeting on (Jan 23).
Following several questions after that briefing, NPR's Mara Liasson insisted
that if Trump's claims of voter fraud were true, this would be the “biggest
scandal in American electoral history,” and then she asked why he's not
actively investigating.
Here is how Spicer handled that Mara Liasson question:
“Maybe we will. We'll see
where we go from here, but right now the focus the president has is on putting
Americans back to work. It was a comment he made on a longstanding belief.” He
later confirmed that “there is no investigation, but that anything is possible.”
Whew boy…!!!
My Summary:
Looks like all the country can do now is wait and watch (Trump mostly tweeting
what he wants us to know – true or false it seems). But in all honestly taking
all that Trump has said and done up to this point does not foreshadow well for
the ending to this dramatic story, at least in my opinion.
So,
stay tuned. Thanks for stopping by and I ask again: “What have we done?”
