Whether Trump is in denial or not, America now has a president whose first press release is a lie. And not just a lie - an easily refuted lie. That would have been unbelievable only a decade ago. We live in a different world.
Yes indeed. I heard a radio presenter calling this situation tantamount to being 'gas lighting' i.e. manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity. It's a deliberate attempt to undermine the truth in the media in order to pave the way for his future agenda.
He is far too controversial and unstable. Like I say, I give him a month! 
It's not just Trump. It's all his staff, as well. http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/wh-spokesman-gave-alternative-facts-inauguration-crowd-n710466
A month? How do you think he can be got rid of? Two years, maybe, when Senate and House of Representatives elections occur. (However, I hope you're right!)

Yes but Trump tells his spokesman what to say doesn't he?
Well it's just the 2nd day and look how THAT is going!? He is not destined to last the distance, for sure. I just think that he will do something, quite soon probably, that will be deemed as going too far and thus be made to step down...bit of a no brainer!

Sure. And he's selected them for their abilities - including the ability to deny the truth.

Of course, that begs the question, would Pence be any better?

I don't know enough about what his policies might be but at least he has a history of being a politician and doesn't have such a volatile/unstable temperament!
I wonder why this is!? Strange! Mods - can you look into this please. I value Reiki Pixie's posts.
Haven't a clue what the problem is. There's nothing special for any particular member that would prevent them from posting any differently to any other member (except new members who are moderated)

Thanks for your reply....yes it does seem odd. Maybe he got it wrong.

He's against LGBT rights and is against family planning of any sort. He has a track record of homophobic, racist and sexist statements.

Is he a catholic then (re. against family planning)? Main question is...would he 'better'/less damaging than Trump!

He was a Catholic. Then he became Evangelical. Now, he seems to swap between the two as suits his arguments.
Trump chose him as VP because they agreed about many things - mostly, I think, that they both wanted to be in power.
Wish I could reply especially to Amy but Hp doesn't seem to let me do longer replies. I give up!!
Reiki Pixie I am with you. Obama was (and is) a good man I am sure. But the nobel peace prize was awarded before he had the chance to do anything......I don't buy into the 'Saint' Obama story....

Trump chose him has VP because he knew he needed a proper politician and Pence was the only one willing to stand. Trump still has a lot of enemies in the GOP.

Really? You think presidents and prime ministers have never lied to us before?
