It's not only amazing about how much the Trumps lie, it's also crazy about how badly they lie

If you listen to their answers to crucial 'yes or no' questions, they all tend to over explain their qualifications even before they get around to answering 'yes or no.' That's a routine liar's tell.

Always asking people to "trust" him and saying "to tell the truth" for Trump are his routine preludes to his lies.

They also do this smirk thingie right after telling a lie. Also, a lot of times their expressions have nothing to do with their words.

Hemming and hawing... The Kids and other mouthpieces can't help themselves. Trump, on the other hand, is pathological in his way that first thing that comes out of his mouth is a lie. He's very practiced at lying while using excessive palm displays. He using them all the time.

Whenever Trump is crossing his arms, he's being defensive and is definitely lying.

They can never keep any of their lies straight. Trump has been know to tell repeated lies in the same breath.

Most of all, whenever his pie hole is flapping, he's clearly lying.

He's the biggest and worst liar ever.

said something to the effect that Trump and his minions are really stupid people who just react without thinking. This means that even though they lie constantly, they've never been able to get good at it.

They don't need the lie to be logically convincing because they operate in a logic-free world.
They convince people through force, conviction, intensity, emotion, authority, etc.

If Donnie said 2+2=5, then they'll say ok, I guess that's what we're going with today!
If Hillary said the exact same thing, they'd laugh and scream to lock her up for math crimes.

The right figured out how to exploit our media. Because media wants to appear 'bipartisan' and give both sides coverage, the best way to exploit them is to lie shamelessly. Our media doesn't have tools to deal with that.
