You are correct
I have no idea why Trump lies as prolifically as he does. As can be seen in my examples, it seems to be lying to protect a fragile ego or lying just for the hell of it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- silly examples , all speculation and OPINION masquerading as Proof RWinger !!
Why does Trump lie about 5 million illegals voting for Hillary? With ten million illegals in this country, and many being children, that would require almost every illegal in this country casting a vote....patently ridiculous
So is this a lie by Trump or just my opinion?
I look at two possibilities
1. Trump is just plain stupid and believes any conspiracy theory he encounters on the internet. This is consistent with his birther and Ted Cruz's father killed JFK claims
2. Trump is lying
