He cuts his own vocal chords. But even if Trump did that and all his social media were cut off, he would still find a way to get out his verbal diarreah.

(244,938 posts)His daughter went to my summer camp and her parents came to visit on the last weekend, she was in the camp horse show. I didn't really know her, she was older than me, but I do remember that she was really into horses. And I recognized her Dad, he was a small tan man in a bright yellow sweater, LOL. And there was quite a fuss when he visited.

(244,938 posts)And it was well known who her father was. One of my best friends got to know her a little since she was impressed that Jodi Serling was much more interested in horses than boys, LOL. And she was in my riding class in the camp horse show and of course she won! I always wondered about that...

Bright yellow sweater! I think I would remember that, too.
I am watching this episode now. The whole five seasons are on FreeVee. I had forgotten how much I enjoy them and will probably watch more.
What is so funny in this one (Season 2, Episode 25) is how the fellow member (Archie) bluntly tells him why he doesn't like him and everything he says is what trump is--unethical, "there's nothing sporting about you," you've run through your inheritance, your debts are insurmountable....you'll do anything for money.
Rhiannon12866
(244,938 posts)And I do remember seeing him since he stood out in that yellow sweater and of course there was enough of a fuss that most of us noticed.
And I do agree that he was a brilliant man, he certainly foretold what's happening now. And though I didn't really know his daughter, just knew who she was at camp, I feel bad for her since she lost her Dad not long after that, a life cut way too short.
I should watch that episode, too - don't know if I ever saw it, but it certainly does sound what we're experiencing now - thanks for letting me know which one it was!

(76,262 posts)The FBI can analyze written material to a get a linguistic fingerprint for those under investigation.
And they can use spoken material too. To see if it matches up.
But what you are saying sounds like he is writing this himself.
I wondered if coked up junior was helping him.
The person writing it sounds like he is on drugs.

(19,647 posts)That he is not the one who physically types the letters and words. That would be the responsibility of some aide or minion who may or may not have input into the language, grammar and syntax.
However, I'm positive that everything originates in his fevered brain and is uttered for dictation by his big mouth.

(935 posts)Here's some of things that make a person a pathological liar.
A pathological liar, also known as a compulsive or chronic liar, is someone who consistently lies without apparent reason or benefit and may lie even when the truth would serve them better.
Here are some common traits and conditions that may define a pathological liar:
1. Persistent lying: Pathological liars have a consistent and long-standing pattern of lying, often from childhood into adulthood.
2. Lack of guilt or remorse: They may not feel guilty or show remorse for their lies, even when confronted with the consequences.
3. Exaggeration: They tend to embellish stories and experiences to make themselves appear more impressive, successful, or important.
4. Unnecessary lying: They lie even when the truth would suffice or when there is no clear advantage to lying.
5. Manipulative behavior: Pathological liars may use their lies to manipulate others and gain control or advantage in various situations.
6. Fantasy-prone: They might have a tendency to create elaborate, fictional stories and believe them to be true.
7. Impulsivity: Pathological lying may be associated with impulsive behavior and difficulty in controlling their lies.
8. Attention-seeking: They lie to gain attention, sympathy, or admiration from others.
9. Inconsistent stories: Their lies may frequently change, leading to discrepancies and contradictions in their narratives.
10. Lack of self-awareness: Some pathological liars may not recognize their lying behavior and genuinely believe their lies.
11. Low self-esteem: Despite their lies, they may have low self-esteem and use lying as a coping mechanism to protect their self-image.
12. Defensive behavior: When confronted about their lies, they may become defensive and deny their deceitful behavior.
13. Relationship issues: Pathological lying can lead to trust issues and strained relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
14. Comorbidity: Pathological lying can be associated with other mental health conditions, such as narcissistic personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, or borderline personality disorder.
15. Lack of empathy: They may struggle to understand or empathize with the impact their lies have on others.
I'm thinking you might be on to something here.
I think it's pretty safe to say he's seriously ill.

(4,741 posts)Just what does sports have to do with your expansive fat arse, other than your destroying an entire league over your vanity back in the 80s? Or was it 90s? I don't follow American football, so I don't remember the exact history there.
But if we want to talk about losses, you stinking pile of rot, remember this from men's football:

Thu 12 Oct 2017 07.57 AEDT
https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/oct/11/usa-world-cup-2018-qualifying-soccer-football
Or this, from World Cup basketball:

Trump has been unraveling, melting down, going a step too far, reaching the end of his rope, hitting rock bottom, etc., etc., etc., for a LONG TIME now.
Too many people have kept propping him up no matter what.
Maybe we're finally reaching the limits not of Trump, but of Trump supports and their ability to keep bailing him out. We're not out of the woods yet, however.

He was completely unqualified in 2016 and still is. We can't let him get back in. (And please read that book. It's frightening how bad he was and how bad he will be again if he gets re-elected.)
