Trump lies about everything all of the time.

Trump hasn’t lied under oath, but Sessions did. You think if somebody were to point out that Sessions was ahead of him on this, that Trump would DEMAND to testify under oath? (About anything at all, it wouldn’t much matter to him, as long as he could catch up to Sessions…….)

Sociopathic narcissists lie to protect their fragile self image. Trump is, quite literally, mentally ill. There are other words for that condition, but most observers have yet to use the most apt term—“mental illness.” Sure, he’s also crazy, loopy, nutty, bonkers, mentally unstable, and so forth. But until we realize the mental illness for what it is, the sick trump behaviors will not be entirely comprehensible.
The upshot is that trump will be considered sane, even though he’s not. His erratic and deceptive behaviors are viewed as part of a cunning strategy to distract people from his REAL intentions and his REAL objectives. Nothing could be further from the truth. For goodness sakes, this poor sick little man used to be a democrat. He favored a single payer healthcare finance system, and had no problems with abortion. With poor sick trumpy, there is no “there” there. Only his pathetic, sick, over-the-top need to be loved and respected. Hence the term malignant narcissism can accurately be used to describe his mental illness.
