The head birther lies about his own father's birthplace, and the American press just yawns.

It's been an interesting few days here in these divided states of America.

First, is there a crazier set of people than trump supporters? Look at this and this and tell me if you think that these people are normal. But this is what happens when you belong to a cult, you lose all sense of decency and your ability to reason.

It is also what happens when you fall for a con.

Hakeem Jeffries summed up the conman perfectly:

• "Billionaire”, but no tax returns. “Stable genius”, but no grades. “Exonerated”, but no #MuellerReport. “Party of Healthcare”, but no plan. The American people are being hustled straight out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. "

 And the conman in chief was at it again today. The man actually lied about where his father was born for crying out loud.

“My father is German, right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany, so I have a great feeling for Germany,” Trump said during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who is from Norway. 

Ahhhm, no Donald, your father was born in New York. I mean seriously, who does this? Who lies with all the world watching about where his father was born? I am starting to think that the man just can't help himself. Surely he must have known that this could be easily fact checked. I suppose that when you tell so many lies and you are used to getting away with them you become emboldened to just tell more. 

For instance, trump lied that his government gave Puerto Rico (one of those three Mexican countries) ninety one billion dollars, while trying to make a point about the ungrateful people on the island.

Again, it was easily fact checked, and his lie was exposed. 

But I don't blame trump, I blame the main stream news media for giving him a pass over and over again. These lies and his behavior ( he said oranges instead of origin at least three times today) should give us all cause for concern. Instead, our major news outlets continue to label them misstatements and ignore the fact that the man might actually be insane.
