It is more than just plain lying. He is living in an alternate raelity. In other words he is nuts and he is similar to Jim Jones. Nothing penetrates that skull .

(1,577 posts)The man is a psychopath. He admires Hannibal Lecter. He talks about him as if he is real. If it weren't for the protection his wealth has always provided, he would have been locked up long ago. Either for criminal or mental issues. He's loaded with both.

(96,125 posts)Many people with relatives who have dementia have been saying this for years.
Many people who work with drug addicts see this in trump and junior (Adderall for trump, and junior has coke jaw )
Many psychiatric professionals have signed on to public letters under the heading of Duty to Warn.
It goes on. And on. And on. The man is nuttier than squirrel poop. And hes vicious.

(19,402 posts)And it's filled with toadies and sycophants who are more than happy to tell him whatever he wants to hear and validate his delusions, in return for getting the things they want out of him (like huge tax breaks for the super rich).
He's easy to manipulate and getting easier all the time as he sinks further and further into the fog of dementia.

Not only has the new Civil War already started, we're steadily being pushed back.

From wikipedia:
God complex is not a clinical term nor diagnosable disorder and does not appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental DisordFeers (DSM). The recognized diagnostic name for the behaviors associated with a god complex is narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). A god complex may also be associated with mania or a superiority complex.
Many mental health professionals over the years have agreed with the diagnosis that Trump has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Again from Wikipedia:
In my opinion, that describes Trump perfectly. How Can You Tell if Someone Has a God Complex/NPD?
In the study Disorders of Personality: DSM-IV-TM and Beyond (1996), Theodore Millon suggested five subtypes of NPD. Trump unquestionably belongs inn the first category.
Unprincipled narcissist
Features
Deficient conscience; unscrupulous, amoral, disloyal, fraudulent, deceptive, arrogant, exploitive; a con artist and charlatan; dominating, contemptuous, vindictive.
The worst part of it is that his cult members have bought into his God Complex themselves and treat him as a "god". Unfortunately, the scale of Trump's hold on his cult members is so strong nobody has come up yet with a way to break it.
