Pharmaceutical companies will be paying you to use their prescription drugs!

The U.S.A. is a veritable garden of eden under the Trump regime!

As if it's needed.......

He just says whatever comes to mind and that is almost always the opposite of reality.

When he talks he draws from his scant pantry of knowledge and life experience and flips it over.

I'm getting a visual of his mind and it is pretty "scant" indeed. Also chaotic.

I think he believes he has a magic brain and anything he can imagine will come true just by his pronouncements or royal edicts. Perhaps his time on The Apprentice contributed to this magical thinking.

When he wakes up one day and realizes it isn't true, he is going to be so disappointed. The tantrums will be epic.

19. He read a book, called "The Magic of Believing " by Norman Vincent Peal.

Then he went on to study with some kind of positive thinking guru (read that as charlatan), mix it with the very toxic teachings of Roy Cohn of never admitting fault or taking responsibility, and voilà! We get the pathological liar and cheating con man, who thinks he can create reality just by insisting his version exists.
Add in the bigoted idiot rubes who want the fantasies that he's selling, and here we are.

It was in a field. On one side it said, Farmers For Trump. On the other side it said, Promises Made, Promises Kept.

I sort of know the farmer who put this up. He absolutely believes it.

he has already told.
He lies as easy as he breathes. Just like the rest of his "administration".
