Maybe Trump was born with the inability to speak, what most people see as telling the truth. His private life is very telling. With his lack of morals. He is like a ship at sea without a rudder. Maybe he looked at telling the truth as a superfluous and unnecessary action. He gets his point across by using lies. We mistake his statements for sarcastic hyperbole when in reality he believes in what he is saying. He actually thinks illegal Hatian immigrants are eating pet dog and cats. He thinks Black people love him and by giving the rich tax breaks the trickle down effect, which has been shown not to happen. Something dear to my heart is Trumps mentioned of third trimester abortion. The facts are on a specific set of conditions in incompatible with live birth defect. I would have nothing different in those conditions. Twenty five years ago I was in a similar position. Inducing a 24 week baby girl with a condition called anencephaly. Essentially a baby without the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. No such child has ever lived more than several hours. I gave the mother the choice abort now or to deliver a non viable baby. She choose to abort now. Wow, did I receive major pushback from the nursing staff. They called me to give an in-service to explain and justify my action. Some nurses refused to work with me in the future. So I know how it feels though to go about doing something against people's opinion. It sucks but I still proud to have helped a mother in dire need despite other people's opinion.

If there is anything I learned about this election is that Trump's modus operandi does not include telling the truth, but it does include Joseph Goebbel's method of, " if you lie long, people might believe it.

I think Trump definitely thinks he doesn't have to tell the truth. He doesn't seem to understand that honesty is important to most people.

Thank you, as always, for reading!

She was glorious. I could hear my dad cackling like Alan Alda/Hawkeye Pierce all the way from central Florida when he shouted, "They're eating the dogs!"

Trump's thinking can be best characterized by an ancient parable of the Donkey and the Tiger. The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
