Best Answer

Trump can't stop lying because he needs:

1. The attention of a segment of the American public.

2. To assuage his ego.

3. To avoid being held accountable.

Trump cleverly mixes in truths with lies, much like the majority of politicians with ulterior motives. By gaining the attention of a segment of the American public, it helps him not only rile up his base, but makes him appear trustworthy by spouting conspiracies that the majority of media won't report on excepting alt-right loon sites. It helps him weaken the power of mainstream media to hold him accountable, by constantly attacking their credibility.

Further, by attacking the credibility of government, it helps him control the conversation and steamroll weak government officials who play defense on the issues, much like he did to Hillary Clinton during the election.

Finally, he lies because to tell the truth would be:

  1. To admit to criminal wrongdoing.
  2. Counter to his brand of rich excess with no responsibility.
  3. Overall, not good for him.

Trump has gotten away with so many lies, why stop now? They've only improved his stature and vaulted him into the oval office. A man who benefits from telling a lie and suffers no significant consequence learns to do it again.

What are Donald Trump's views on stop and frisk?

Donald Trump believes "Stop and Frisk" was a good idea. However, "Stop and Frisk" was ruled unconstitutional and New York City discontinued the practice. "Stop and Frisk" was wrong because it relied on biases about who to stop, examples: young men, young black men.Even if Trump wants to re-establish this, he cannot because of the court ruling.

Is don berlusconi exposing Donald trump?

we understand that do berlusconi wealthy italian businessman and son of former italian prime minister silvio berlusconi is being sued by donald trump. on june 30th, don berlusconi was interviewed by an investigative reporter, via the telephone about donald trump remarks about immigrants.this was on this same site yesterday about that interview under the question-was don berlusconi interviewed about donald trump. in the interview yesterday, berlusconi fired verbal mega bombs at trump.we have discovered today that one of trumps attorneys contacted don berlusconi by phone and informed berlusconi that trump will sue him for slander and character assasination . from our research and disussions with don berlusconi again today, berlusconi laughed at the attorney suggestion that trump would sue berlusconi. berlusconi told the attorney to tell trump that he welcomes this suit because it would allow him, don berlusconi, to get trump on the stand in court and aggressively examine him about all the lies and misrepresentations trump has made over the years, including about his,trumps, wealth, he casino ownership, he claim that obama birth certificate was a fake, and many more things to demonstrate that trump has slandered his own self and assasinated his own character and that berlusconi only stated the facts in the interview yesterday, berlusconi went on to say.additonally today berlusconi said he will chew up and spit out trump in the courtroom and will make a circus of this. berlusconi said it will be a circus because whenever you see a clown, a circus must be in town and that trump is a clown all the way. berlusconi also said today that he will debate trump any day of the week about politics, world affairs, economics, money and banking, the gambling business, immigration and any other subject trump wants to talk about. berlusconi said he challenges trump to this debate but knows trump will not debate because he, trump, knows that he is clueless about most of these subjects and instead he ,trump, wants to just blow around a lot of hot air with meaningless thoughts and ideas that will go nowhere. berlusconi told trump attorney to definately sue him, and he ,berlusconi, cant wait to make trump look real stupid in court. so the fires continue to burn with berlusconi on his attacks on trump and it looks like it will not stop anytime soon. we are now reaching out to trump for his comments about berlusconi
