Donald Trump falsely represents evidence about Russia's interference in US election
ricky l
In the clip, committee Chairman Devin Nunes asks National Security Agency director Michael Rogers and Mr Comey whether Russia had altered vote totals in specific swing states. Both replied that Russia had not successfully influenced votes in those individual states.
Trump’s tweet falsely claims this as testimony that Russia had not influenced the electoral process.
---
Les than an hour after his tweet, President Trump took to Twitter again, claiming that Mr Comey admitted that Barack Obama had the ability to ‘unmask’ American citizens.
Mr Comey in fact told the committee: ‘The White House can make similar requests [to unmask citizens] but they can’t on their own collect, so they can’t on their own unmask.’
----
Both of the above incidents revealed that :-
"Donald Trump is lying and tweeting falsehood - that contradict what is convey in a Hearing".
As President of United States --- what is this conveying?

At this point, one can reasonably argue the current POTUS has lost what little touch withf reality he ever had. He has now crossed a threshold to complete insanity. If he is the ultimate deal maker, he should play that card. If the Senate and Congress agree to pass his health care reform, he can promise to immediately resign the presidency and seek the necessary mental health care he so desperately needs. I will probably take at least 30 years to undo how messed up he is.
His lasting legacy will be the repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act, which he promised, and America and the world get rid of the most unfit president in the history of the United Sates. It's a win-win situation.
People will argue the 20+ million who will go uninsured will be the losers, but one could argue the next president could introduce legislation fixing health care so that EVERYONE has affordable access to health care.

Donald Trump seems to be suffering from more than one mental disorder.
In addition to suspected suffering from - Narcissistic personality disorder DSM 5 - he may also suffer from :- "Compulsive Lying Disorder".
Compulsive lying disorder, also known as pseudologia fantastica or mythomania, is a condition that describes the behavior of a habitual liar.
While compulsive lying disorder is actually not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), except as a symptom of factitious disorder, many psychiatrists and psychologists consider it a distinct mental disorder.
In the past two decades countless hours of research and multiple papers have been written regarding this issue, though it remains one of the most under researched psychiatric conditions. Individuals with the disorder simply cannot stop themselves from misrepresenting the truth.
People with the disorder are not able to control their lies and experience no guilt regardless of how the lies may affect themselves and others. The lack of guilt is frequently the result of the fact that the individual becomes so caught up in the lie that they are telling, they begin to believe it themselves. If confronted with a lie they have told in the past or one that they are presently telling, they will be insistent that they are speaking the truth.
Over time, the individual will become so adept at lying that it will be very difficult for others to determine if they are, in fact, telling the truth. There are no exact figures regarding the number of people that suffer from this disorder, but has been found to be equally common in men and women and usually becomes very apparent in the late teens.
The defining characteristics of compulsive lying disorder are:
The stories told are not entirely improbable and often have some element of truth. They are not a manifestation of delusion or some broader type of psychosis: upon confrontation, the teller can admit them to be untrue, even if unwillingly.
The fabricative tendency is long lasting; it is not provoked by the immediate situation or social pressure as much as it is an innate trait of the personality.
A definitely internal, not an external, motive for the behavior can be discerned clinically: e.g., long-lasting extortion or habitual spousal battery might cause a person to lie repeatedly, without the lying being a pathological symptom.
The stories told tend toward presenting the liar favorably. For example, the person might be presented as being fantastically brave, knowing or being related to many famous people.
