Donald Trump lies continually, unnecessarily and it's getting worse

At a dinner perhaps two months ago, I sat at a table of conservative candidates and supporters.  Robert Sanchez had brought former U.S. Rep. Mayra Flores.  Norma Lee Valle, a candidate for the Port of Brownsville, an active NRA member, was also there, along with two or three other conservatives.

The lady closest to me, someone I'd never met, used the phrase "fact-checking" as if it were some heinous, repulsive act, so I simply asked her why she thought checking politicians's statements for truthfulness and accuracy was a bad thing.

"I just don't like the way "they" do it," was the best answer she could come up with and her demeanor suggested she didn't want to talk about it.

That is the true genius of Donald J. Trump, that while anything written or spoken negatively about him is "fake news," he's conditioned his followers to never question anything rolling off his golden tongue with certainly no hint of fact-checking for accuracy.

Trump's 97 minute acceptance speech at the RNC contained about a dozen bald-faced lies, for example, Trump's false putdown of the job creation under the Biden administration, saying:  "The jobs that are created (under Biden), 107% of those jobs go to illegal immigrants."

That's patently false on so many levels, but surely Trump cultists are repeating that falsehood as if it were handed to them on a golden tablet.

First of all, the Department of Labor has no statistics on the employment of illegal immigrants, so Trump simply pulled that lie out of his ample ass to remind his followers of the "flood of illegals" coming into this country taking jobs away from them.

Secondly, wouldn't even school kids know there's no such thing as 107% of a finite number.  Even if illegal immigrants got every available job in the United States, that would only be 100% of the available jobs, not 107%.  

Lying, compulsively and pathologically, is deeply ingrained in the Trump psyche.  He lies to his constituents, lies to his vendors, lies to his employees, lies to his wife and children, lies to banks, lies to insurance companies, lies to his golfing buddies. 

Most of all, Trump lies to himself.
