Dementia is certainly part of it. His dad had it. But often times, the simplest explanation is the best: he lies and lies. While he's gotten worse, he has always been a prolific liar. Before he was president, he's lied about everything from the square footage of the property he was selling, the size of his own penthouse, and his net worth. It just goes on and on.You forgot option #3 - dementia. I think Trump has fully lost touch with reality. He never had much of a firm grasp on it to begin with, but aging is only making it worse. They're probably pumping him full of the latest cutting edge medicines to keep him at the barely coherent level we're seeing.
Meanwhile, as he has bounced from excuse to excuse about why Iran was attacked, his own DNI head Tulsi Gabbard said yesterday that despite the several attacks of the last few weeks the Iranian regime is degraded, but intact. Well before that, Trump had given several contradictory statements on the purposes of the strike. But now that both Trump AND Netanyahu are acknowledging that regime change won't happen from bombing or internal revolt from within Iran, what excuse with the cheerleaders for war on here come up with next?
After urging Iranians to rise up once bombing stops, Trump admits overthrow a ‘very big hurdle’
US president says regime change 'will happen, but maybe not immediately,' also says Putin may be helping Iran 'a little bit'; US reportedly sends 2,200 Marines to Middle East
Netanyahu: Iran’s regime won’t be toppled from air
The Israeli prime minister denied that he had ‘dragged’ the US into war with Tehran but suggested that a ground operation would be needed to overthrow the regime
