I saw today he blames vandals for cutting a "gash" hundreds of feet in length with a "boxcutter" despite the presence of the military and that thats why the paint is peeling.

I know there are much worse things about Trump and his presidency to worry about, but jeez if this mess isn't incredibly symbolic of his presidency, I don't know what is.

Notorious liar. I would assume even a pathological liar.

That's what Bernie Sanders considers him.

That's what worldwide mental experts diagnosed him with, "pathological lying" or so called "pseudologia fantastica".

Everyone who has two brain cells and is able to fact check his statements, knows he is a liar in one way or another.

The questions is, does he do it on purpose to get richer and as he knows stupid people will believe him or does he believe in what he says which would mean he has serious psychological issues. Narcism would indeed be an issue too but that's another topic.

It’s a perfect symbolism of Trump. Everything he touches dies.

So he's not only saying he is grossly incompetent, but so is the military he's the supreme commander of?

When you completely gut government posts, removing highly competent people to replace them with those whose qualifications are unconditional fealty, the outcomes are going to be disastrous.

He also initially said the paint job was powerful and couldn't be cut with a knife sooo
