It's too bad, though, that we have to go down the road of quoting Trump's own lies against him. Claiming that he'd had "a tremendous landslide, Electoral College victory like people haven’t seen in a long time," when in fact President Obama had won the two previous elections by greater totals (his first election with 365 votes, putting Trump's mere 306 to shame), was just one of his uncountable attempts to rewrite history.

The true pity is that Trump's true believers will never ever bother to look up the actual numbers. They just believe history is what he says it is.

I know Joe gets carried away sometimes, too. The difference, and this is a HUGE and VITAL difference, is that when Joe is caught out on an untruth- or, let's go ahead and say it, a LIE- he stops telling it and often even apologizes. Trump never admits he's wrong, because he considers it a sign of weakness. It is, in fact, a sign of strength: the strength of character to own up when you screw up, and do better from now on. Trump will never have that, since he already considers himself perfect, when any objective observer has to conclude that he is the most deeply flawed president in American history.
