Does the jerk KNOW he’s lying, or is he just surrounded by SO many ass kissing sycophants that he doesn’t have a grasp on reality?

 Does Trump actually believe an obviously false idea is true? Or is he simply lying — that is, he knows what he is saying is false but is saying it nevertheless? Those who have worked with him say it’s sometimes hard to distinguish.

“He can’t tell the difference between truth and falsehood,” said John Bolton, who served as one of Trump’s national security advisers in his first term and who was recently raided by the FBI following his repeated criticisms of Trump on television. “A lie is knowing something is not true and saying it anyway. For Trump, it’s sort of what he wants it to be, and he kind of makes up things.”

Others have been more blunt about Trump’s relationship with knowledge and facts.

Annie Leibovitz, the iconic photographer who has done multiple sessions with Trump, said in 2018: “You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”
