President Trump and his advisors/spokespersons are fact-checked by same media that are 'seeking to discredit' him, according to Trump and his supporters. "What an outrage! How unfair!" shrieks the lemming gallery.
What's he supposed to do? How about pretending to act with a modicum of dignity befitting the office and -- oh, I don't know -- hewing closer to reality so that he's not constantly being called out on his completely avoidable bullshit. Now that he's President, he shouldn't have to pander to his base. He could be . . . Presidential.
He cant and he wont. His daddy taught him to be a bully. He has a very unhealthy need to be liked and that stems from being desperate for his dad's approval. So when he doesn't get that he lashes out. You can see the same behaviors in other despots like Saddam and Hitler. They also had abusive parents. Trump is not a average sociopath, his dads verbal abuse scrambled his brain which made him the bully he is today.
