    Trump doesn’t do hyperbole. He’s a narcissist. He genuinely believes his own bullshit. It only becomes hyperbole/sarcasm/a joke/a negotiating tactic/[insert some other excuse] when he comes up short against his own limitations and reality.

      I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive, but I’m not going to fight about it. I’m sure as hell not here to stand up for him. I’m just way more pissed at the people who look at him and see leadership material than I am pissed at Trump for being Trump.

      Everyone knew exactly who he was and fucking chose him. What an indictment of our society that this was even possible.
