The Donald with another lie this morning

Seriously, this morning's tweet reveals three things about Trump that should be obvious to anybody:

- his constant need to lie, lie, lie
- his pathological need to be thought of as wise (which also explains his pathetic "raking the forests" comment)
- his constant need to defend his previous stupidities (too many to count) by then adding what he feels is clarifying (but lying) context


Consider this tweet:

Of course we should have captured Osama Bin Laden long before we did. I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center. President Clinton famously missed his shot. We paid Pakistan Billions of Dollars & they never told us he was living there. Fools!..



Well, guess what. No, you didn't, you lying orange buffoon. In fact, your one mention of bin Laden in your book was rather dismissive of the risk he was being painted.

Here's that one mention:

"Instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flash points, stand offs, and hot spots. We’re not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We’re playing tournament chess - one master against many rivals. One day we’re assured that Iraq is under control, the UN inspectors have done their work, everything’s fine, not to worry. The next day the bombing begins. One day we’re told that a shadowy figure named Osama bin Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jet fighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later, it’s on to a new enemy and a new crisis."
