Trump will go down in history as the greatest pathological liar that ever lived.
A pathological liar like Trump is someone who lies compulsively. While there appears to be many possible causes for pathological lying, it’s not yet entirely understood why someone would lie this way.
Some lies seem to be told in order to make the pathological liar appear the hero, or to gain acceptance or sympathy, while there’s seemingly nothing to be gained from other lies. Trump does this constantly at his rallies. He tries to play the victim and the hero at the same time.
Pathological liars are great storytellers. Their lies tend to be very detailed and colorful.
Even though obviously over-the-top, the pathological liar may be very convincing.
Along with being made the hero or victim in their stories, pathological liars tend to tell lies that seem to be geared at gaining admiration, sympathy, or acceptance by others.
A pathological liar tells lies and stories that fall somewhere between conscious lying and delusion. They sometimes believe their own lies. It’s difficult to know how to deal with a pathological liar who may not always be conscious of their lying. Some do it so often that experts believe they may not know the difference between fact and fiction after some time.
When asked questions, a pathological liar may speak a lot, without ever being specific or answering the question...
Most people lie at one time or another. Previous research has suggested that we tell an average of 1.65 lies every day. Most of these lies are what are considered “white lies.”
Pathological lies, on the other hand, are told consistently and habitually. They tend to appear pointless and often continuous. It's been reported that DJT tells at least 20 lies per day.😲
Identifying a pathological liar isn’t always easy, that is unless his name is DJT. The following are some signs to help identify a pathological liar:
They often talk about experiences and accomplishments in which they appear heroic, they're also the victim in many of their stories, often looking for sympathy, their stories tend to be elaborate and very detailed, they respond elaborately and quickly to questions, but the responses are usually vague and don’t provide an answer to the question, they may have different versions of the same story, which stems from forgetting previous details, or previous lies.
