The sad point is that perhaps Trump is not lying, but truly does not remember what he says in the past. He tends to speak in an emotionally reactive manner, saying what ever comes to mind that fits the present situation with little thought about what may have already been said or the future ramifications. This may be why he flip flops so much.


He may be just as surprised as we are when his past recorded statements are brought back.



He was not always this way. I remember interviews years ago when he could form sets of coherent sentences and actually make sense. He was never a great speaker, but was one that was understandable. In the past few years, however, his ability to speak clearly has diminished.


Perhaps this is why he prefers to communicate more electronically.

Excellent observation, spoken like a true psychologist. Be sure there are quite some psycho and cognitive scientists who took note of these details, you are not alone.
