Theres something about Trump that won't let him admit simple facts

[BeyondGeography]

...Before Trump goes looking for “millions” of “illegal” votes for Hillary Clinton, let him first find the phantom 26 feet of 40 Wall St., his downtown skyscraper.

In a conversation I had with Trump years ago, after 9/11 but before new World Trade Center buildings went up, he claimed that 40 Wall St. — “and I say this sadly” — was, since the terrorist attack, “the tallest building downtown.”

When I demurred that in fact, a nearby building, 70 Pine St., was 25 feet taller than 40 Wall, Trump insisted: “No, my building is taller.”

I politely pointed out that, a) public records clearly state that 70 Pine tops out at 952 feet, compared with 40 Wall’s 927 feet, and, b) you can just look up at the sky and see.

Trump’s dig-in, double-down response: “No, my building is taller. Much taller.”

I moved on. I had a story to write unrelated to 40 Wall St., and no time to argue with him

Every journalist who’s covered Trump will tell a similar tale....

1. Another reason this guy should NOT be allowed to drive on open roads, red lights are green to him

2. I think his obsession with the popular vote

is about the mandate. Which he doesn't have.

3. He's pathologically incapable of settling for simply very good. He must be the best, facts be damned

For example, he claimed that "The Art of the Deal" was the bestselling business book in history. It wasn't.

There's some switch in his mind that's broken that would otherwise tell him to quit while he's ahead.

So you didn't win the popular vote? Whatever. Say all you want about Dubya, but you didn't see him obsessing about not winning the popular vote in 2000.

So only 250,000 showed up to your inauguration? Whatever. It's not like only 25 people showed up. 250,000's still a big number even if it's not Obama's numbers. Count your lucky stars you were inaugurated and move on.

He's seriously mentally imbalanced. Right now it's about trivialities, but at some point it won't be, and God help us all.

4. he's so full of himself

narcissistic constipation doesn't even begin to describe this terror that has been unleashed into american society/culture WE WILL ALL suffer immensely in the next 4 years....guaranteed, barring divine intervention....
