He lies to deflect blame, he lies to attack, he lies to conflate, he lies to self-aggrandize, he lies to destroy truth.

He has considerable skill, as he is very practiced and has no conscience. The fact that his lies are transparent and often absurd does not make them less effective: gaslighting does not require plausibility.

Rachel Maddow said last night that Mary L. Trump's book shows that he lies for his own pleasure as well. He is a Sociopath.
