Trump Lobs Insults At Clinton, Calling Her 'Unhinged' And A 'Liar'
Source: Talking Points Memo
During a Friday rally in Des Moines, Iowa, Donald Trump took several of the criticisms lobbed at him during what was a rough week for his campaign and redirected them at his opponent Hillary Clinton.
A big theme of Trump's speech was that Clinton was "unhinged" and has a bad temperament, which he said makes her unfit for the presidency.
"She's really pretty close to unhinged," he said. "You've seen it, you've seen it a couple of times. The people in the background know it, the people that know her know it. And she's like an unbalanced person."
Trump also called Clinton a "dangerous liar" several times during his rally.

Historians see in Trump the biggest liar in presidential politics. Ever.
~~~~~> MIDWAY DOWN THE ARTICLE:
"Trumps need to invent facts about his own success appears to be a trait associated with narcissistic personality disorder, according to mental health professionals who have studied his public remarks, with the possibility that the malady may be antisocial personality disorder ― formerly known as sociopathy.
That certainly was the assessment of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), who, on the day he lost the critical Indiana primary in May, lashed out at Trumps relationship with facts. This man is a pathological liar. He doesnt know the difference between truth and lies, Cruz said. I say pathological because I actually think Donald, if you hooked him up to a lie detector test, he could say one thing in the morning, one thing at noon and one thing in the evening, all contradictory. And hed pass the lie detector test each time. Whatever lie hes telling, at that minute he believes it.
Whether Trumps behavior is actually a sign of mental illness is something only a professional assessment could determine, and its unknown whether Trump has ever sought one. His campaign did not respond to queries, and the physician who wrote a letter attesting to Trumps health ― which closed with the line: If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency ― declined to speak to The Huffington Post."
***********BEGINNING FEW PARAGRAPHS ABOUT Trumps Dishonesty.
In American history, weve never had a major presidential candidate who fabricated facts with the regularity of Donald Trump, said Douglas Brinkley, a history professor at Rice University. He just simply makes up things.
In the span of a few days last week, Trump falsely claimed that the NFL had sent him a letter complaining about this autumns debate schedule, when in fact it had not. He claimed that the Koch brothers had tried to meet with him about offering their support, when in reality they had no interest in doing so. And, most astonishingly, he claimed he had seen a video showing hundreds of millions of dollars being unloaded from a plane in Iran, fabricating embellishments about the videos provenance, even after his campaign conceded that no such video existed.
Theda Skocpol, a government and sociology professor at Harvard, agreed that Trumps dishonesties have set a new standard. Trump lies constantly and shamelessly. I do think he is in new territory, she said.

(22,897 posts)"unhinged" is two syllables-- I'm surprised, since he tends to favor one-syllable words, whether for his followers' ease of understanding or else because his vocabulary is essentially a hodgepodge of simple words.
It's been hell having him in the news all day every day.
