Everything He Says Is A Lie`

In poker, a game at which the Mission Man is much more accomplished than I will ever be, there's a thing called a "tell".

A usually subtle "give away" that a player may not even be aware that they're doing. A frown, a twitch, a blink, a pursing of the lips....

But a skilled player can take that seemingly insignificant "tell" and figure out how strong the hand you have is.

Donald J. Trump has a "tell".

And it isn't particularly subtle.

In fact, it's really simple. No need for deep analysis.

When he opens his mouth, everything he says is a lie. 

Doesn't matter what the subject is. Could be anything: immigration, foreign policy, the economy, race relations, his big bad Wall, China, North Korea, the European alliance, Russia--especially Russia.

I suppose he can't help himself. He's gotten away with it all of his adult life. Why stop now? Or perhaps he really believes all the bullshit he spews constantly. The end result is the same.

This is the consequence of a life without consequences.
