Trump is the one getting all the attention; i.e. exactly what he wants. Most people do not care about the distinctions between lies to get attention vs. lies that have real consequences.   

#muh #feels are not real consequences.

In Rebuke of Trump, Tillerson Says Lies Are a Threat to Democracy
In a veiled rebuke of President Trump, former Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson warned on Wednesday that American democracy was threatened by a growing “crisis of ethics and integrity.”

“If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom,” he said in a commencement address at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va.

Even small falsehoods and exaggerations are problematic, Mr. Tillerson said. He did not mention Mr. Trump by name, although the president is prone to both.

“When we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth even on what may seem the most trivial matters, we go wobbly on America,” he said. (...)

How Game Theory Explains the Leaks in the Trump White House

In 1950, Albert Tucker, a mathematician at Princeton, gave a talk to a group of Stanford psychologists about the rapidly developing science known as game theory. To illustrate one of his arguments, he invented a story about two criminals who had been arrested for a crime they had committed jointly. (...)

For the past several days, Trump and other senior officials have reportedly been consumed with discovering who leaked the fact that a member of the White House communications team had dismissed some remarks that the ailing senator John McCain made, saying they didn’t matter, because “he’s dying, anyway.” On Monday, Trump took to Twitter. After he first suggested that the entire leaking phenomenon was an invention of the “Fake News Media,” he went on, “With that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find out who they are!”

If the White House investigation to find the source of the McCain leak advances, it will probably find guilty parties everywhere. Ever since Trump became President, the White House has leaked like a sieve. “The leaks come in all shapes and sizes: small leaks, real-time leaks, weaponized leaks, historical leaks,” Jonathan Swan, Axios’s White House correspondent, wrote this week. “Sensitive Oval Office conversations have leaked, and so have talks in cabinet meetings and the Situation Room. You name it, they leak it.” Mike Allen, Swan’s colleague at Axios, says, “we learn more about what’s going on inside the Trump White House in a week than we did in a year of the George W. Bush presidency.”

That may well be true, and game theory provides one explanation. By deliberately creating a factionalized, dog-eat-dog culture inside the White House, one that mimics how he ran his business and the premise of his reality-television show, Trump has turned the people who work for him into White House versions of the prisoners in Tucker’s story. With this in mind, it is to be expected that so many White House staffers would take actions that are damaging to the Administration, such as leaking explosive information. (...)

Not sure who said it but something like "If you ask Trump what time it is, he'll lie just to keep in practice." Paraphrasing Mark Twain, I think, "Never tell a lie, except to stay in practice."

That's kind of you to be so charitable to man who simply doesn't deserve it. Trump is a cartoon caricature of a blowhard. If the younger Trump could see the reduced state of the older Trump, he'd wince in shame.

I have to disagree with you when it comes to the issue of whether Trump is being malicious or not. After he told this whopper, he admitted that he made up the Canada-related number. IIRC he also told PM Trudeau that falsehood to Trudeau's face, knowing that it was a lie:

From https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/14/opinion/sunday/trump-lies-obama-who-is-worse.html

April 28, 2017.“The trade deficit with Mexico is close to $70 billion, even with Canada it’s $17 billion trade deficit with Canada.” (The U.S. had an $8.1 billion trade surplus, not deficit, with Canada in 2016.)

Trump will say any old shit to make his point or win people over. From what I can tell, he sees no advantage or point in telling the truth. His relationships are transactional zero-sum interactions. If he wins, he'll brag endlessly about it. If he loses, he will bitch and moan about the system being rigged against him or some such crap.

Trump is a kleptocrat. He's as close as we'll get (hopefully) to having someone like Ferdinand Marcos or Zaire's Mobutu Sese Seko as our country's leader.

I do agree with you, VV, about Trump not grasping facts or putting in the time to learn. It's just that he's a congenital liar and conman before anything else.

I think you're being charitable in (sort of) painting him as bumbling Dubya, but Trump being a Cohn acolyte means malice is just another tool for 'winning'. And plenty of it has been on display.
