When you're in a military or business or some academic administrative environments it is difficult or impossible to challenge the liar. There's a chain of command, and most underlings believe, usually correctly, that they have to toe the line to one degree or another. Only someone on an equal or superior footing will be able challenge the liar. As you say, the liar is also usually someone who is a good ass kisser, so they don't get challenged.<br /><br />Trump has grown up in this sort of business environment. Lying and ass kissing are the tools of his trade, and he was successful because he was rarely challenged. When he was challenged, he paid off folks so he could go on, or declared bankruptcy so he didn't have to pay off debts to, for example, the working men and women who actually built his monuments to himself.<br /><br />If you live long enough and have enough bosses, you will run into a Trump-type or two during your life. You would think such experiences would give people some sort of radar to detect this particular behavior. What I can't understand are the older white folks who either believe Trump's lies or think that his lying doesn't matter. Are they dupes, or are they just so full of hate, resentment or uneasy that it makes them overlook a sleazy lying crook.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224143603942883295noreply@blogger.com
