It’s never really clear whether Trump believes his own nonsense because his history suggests that he thinks he can just speak things into existence. Then he invariably gets angry at objective reality when it fails to back him up.

Nobody has more empathy than Trump.

“Hallucinating” in the AI sense of the word I guess – no attempt to match reality at all, just make up things that sound like they could.

The way that I like to put it is that “He does not have object permanence.” If something isn’t right in front of him, right now it is what he imagines it to be.

Donald Trump has the body of Homer Simpson, but at least “No one golfs like Gaston Donald Trump!”

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Except when it’s malice.

In the case of Trump, it’s both.

I guess that his feelings don’t care about facts.

We probably know this because he claimed to be ‘hugely pathetic’.

He also breathes at about the same rate.
He doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.
He lied, pure & simple.

Lying or hallucinating?
First one, then the other.
Well, bullshitting more than lying. It’s lying if he knows it’s not true. It’s not that he knows, it’s that he doesn’t care whether it’s true or not. He will say whatever sounds good, with a sociopathic disregard for truth.
Then, whatever has come out of his mouth he will believe to be what happened. Even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff.
Both are symptoms of dementia.
(Dementia doesn’t give him an out: he was always a sociopathic grifting narcissistic fabulist. It’s just that he’s now an increasingly demented one.)
