Donald J. Trump’s lying is accelerating to a breakneck pace.

Just three weeks after Russia’s strongman, Vladimir Putin, said he was glad to see Trump win the 2016 presidential election, the president said this at Pennsylvania political rally:

“I’ll tell you what, Russia is very unhappy that Trump won, that I can tell you. But I got along great with Putin.”

Huh? What? Is he, um, delusional?

Yes! He is! Without question.

The president also might be losing his marbles. OK, that’s too harsh. I don’t think he’s losing cognition or that he suffers from dementia.

Trump’s obsession with himself is spiraling out of control. Not that it had that far to go to reach that point in the first place. He has been self-obsessed for decades.

To think he won election in 2016 to the first public office he ever sought. And it just had to be the presidency of the United States of America.

Frightening.
