So, so tired of the media saying “the President believes” as if he is an honest person with honestly held beliefs of any kind. He is a total fraud and everyone, including the cult members, know it.

Great analogy, and it also applies to tRump's relations with leaders around the world.

About time someone says it. Trump doesn't "Mistakenly believe" anything. He doesn't "miss speak". He is just a deceitful, lying Bastard and many of his supporters are also.

Thanks for the thread gulliver.

I have been ranting about this and thought I was all alone on an island. So glad to know others are annoyed, too!

simply because that is one of the biggest lies Trump constantly spouts. The commentator was a mainstream reporter too, not a Fox flunky

CNN tends to be more guilty of that than the other cable channels. Their model of reporting information, the opening it up for "analysis" confuses the issues.

Donald Trump says he wants to sit down with Mueller. The question about why, when, and how should be directed at Trump. "You say you want to sit with Mueller, when? what are you doing to make that happen? why would you want/not want to sit down with Mueller?

Instead they guess at what he is thinking. We can get an idea of what Trump is saying through tweets and his statements, but as you said, we are not in his head.

What we know from a pattern of behavior from Trump is as you said, he wants to project an image of confidence, of innocence, of willingness to fight; where it is highly probable that those are merely projections.
