TRIGGER WARNING 25 years ago Trump called the local news so he could declare that his building was now the tallest building in Manhattan just hours after the Twin Towers fell. He made 3,000 people dying about himself!

Hubris isn't even the right word. That a man could witness this in his hometown, say what he said for the public record, and then 25 years later say HE WAS ACTUALLY AT GROUND ZERO...
I don't even know how to navigate the ways that makes me feel.
The man lies to the world at every instant of every day. He does not revere a single thing in this life other than gold and sadism.

Anyone that’s spent time around a narcissist can spot the pattern. It’s compulsive and constant. There is no situation in which someone like this won’t, like a reflex, try to make it about themselves.

The world would be a much different place if we taught Personality Disorders and how to spot them in high-school. Imagine the amount of horrible relationships that could have been avoided if people knew from a younger age what dysfunction looks like.

Of course it was shorter than the midterm skyline because that had the Empire State and other buildings.

I did the math using census data and in the election roughly 23% of the country voted for the flaming shitgibbon. He has lost a LOT of support since then. It doesn't always seem that way online, but absolutely no doubt something I am seeing happening in real time. The cult signs have come down, the people are turning on him. I would estimate the support to be closer to 18% now, if not less, regardless of what polls say about approval rating.

He is the biggest POS but this new lie is so incredibly, immediately debunkable I wonder it it's a symptom of his declining cognitive functions.
