Trump: Wise Man Full of Wisdom and Vision, or Dummy Full of Well ... You Know

Center of Attention is Not Clinton or Trump — It’s Dr. Jill Stein

In the End It Didn't Matter: People Spoke  
(They said they wanted someone different)


Several issues run in this post side-by-side: 

First and foremost, I am just totally convinced that Donald J. Trump is both a compulsive and serial liar — and somewhat certifiable as a skilled con artist, one of a kind – kind of an arrogant, full-of-himself no matter what the game is man… One goal: Market and capitalize on the Trump name and brand… nothing else matters.

This his latest: He calls the Stein recount movement “a scam” and then almost immediately also says (via tweets of course) that Hillary's 2 million vote lead it due to illegals voting. Also, recall that Trump said weeks November 8th how professed for weeks that the election was “rigged.” 

I say again: Damnit, man, make up your mind… BTW: Any Trump supporters feel shafted, yet?

Also, I wonder and by any official medical definition if any, is Trump a pathological liar or close, even if that’s possible? Well, close, but as they say, close, but no cigar… this from at least one expert is such mental evaluations:

His name is Dr. Bart Rossi, doctorate from Fordham University, who says in part: 

“The big difference is that by definitionpathological liars spread falsehoods even when there's nothing to be gained, whether it be cheating someone out of money or trying to avoid hurting some one's feelings.  When Trump claimed Muslims celebrated in New Jersey after 9/11, he set off a hunt for evidence that didn't materialize. Didn't matter to Trump, though – that is just a complete fabrication and he seems to be able to say anything and get away with it. What happens is a lot of these so called authoritarian figures, they really stretch things; they spin and they make things up that are really not true. In Trump's case to present himself as this authoritarian figure, he will basically say almost anything to get more attention [for] himself.” 

That amounts to the blustering billionaire displaying traits of an authoritarian personality, which Rossi said is based on observation, not a medical examination.

Now the main article for this post from The Guardian (UK), here in part:
President-elect Donald Trump has continued his criticism of Hillary Clinton’s decision to back the attempt by Green party candidate Jill Stein to force election recounts in three states, saying he won the popular vote – in which he is more than 2 million ballots behind Clinton – “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”

Trump previously called the recount effort a “scam”, while senior adviser Kellyanne Conway on the Sunday TV shows called Stein and Clinton “a bunch of crybabies and sore losers.”

On Saturday, Trump attacked Stein, using Twitter to say: “The Green Party scam to fill up their coffers by asking for impossible recounts is now being joined by the badly defeated [and] demoralized Dems.” 

Then today (Sunday November 27, 2016), he fired off another volley of tweets, starting with this:  “Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in. Nothing will change.”

Then in the afternoon, around the time of his scheduled departure for Manhattan, he used Twitter again to say:

“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016.

Trump did not immediately elaborate about what he meant by “people who voted illegally.” But, during the campaign, he and surrogates complained about voter identity fraud among communities which usually lean Democratic, without presenting evidence and despite regular debunking of such claims by experts.

In subsequent tweets, he added: “It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4 states instead of the 15 states that I visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly (but smaller states are forgotten)!”

Trump was due back in New York after spending Thanksgiving at his Mar-a-Lago resort in FL, where one report said he had been asking visitors who should be his secretary of state (FYI: So, now he conducts his own opinion poll to see who he should choose for a high office? I see, I see). 

Boy, oh boy, what a ride? Thanks for stopping by.
