    Copies. You meant to say more than one copy. More than one set means you're using one set to present one story to one person, and the other set to present a different set to another.

    In fantasy land that might be normal, but in the real world we call that fraud.

    It isn't stupidity. I think the words that characterize it best would be "egotistical denial". And be honest, even the most evil world leaders in history (and no President Trump is not one of those) seldom consider themselves "evil".

    When is a ceasefire not a ceasefire? When it is a surrender. US Special Envoy for Syria James Jeffrey, who participated in the talks in Ankara, told reporters, "The Turkish army has seized a great deal of territory in a very short period of time." The deal gives Turkey relief from sanctions the administration had imposed.

    The agreement appears to secure Turkey most of its military objectives, forcing America's one-time allies in the fight against ISIS to cede a vast swath of territory. The deal meant the US was "validating what Turkey did and allowing them to annex a portion of Syria and displace the Kurdish population."

    Only the Trump administration would call it a ceasefire when an American ally is forced to flee its own land and is given five days to do so.

    Is Trump concerned? Nope, he just starts another Constitutional crisis. Yesterday it was announced that Trump had selected his resort near Miami as the site for the next G7 summit in violation on the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

    Does Trump fear impeachment? Hell, no, he is begging for it with his dumba$$ statements and cowardly decisions. During the impeachment process, Trump will become a daytime television star for weeks on end. That is just exactly what he wants.

    No need to worry. No matter how stupid his statements are, no matter he broke federal law in his phone call to Ukraine, no matter the dishonorable retreat order in Syria that betrayed a valuable ally, his good friends in the Senate -- Trump Republicans -- will protect his a$$. They have no shame.

    Okay, I can go along with that.

    I made no mention of evil.

    But, you did.

    Anyone old enough to remember back in the day when the county tax assessor would pay a visit to someones home and right down a list of what you had inside your home like a television or a new sofa, etc. ?

    I remember when neighbors would ask their neighbors if it was ok to store that new bed and box spring in the garage until after the tax man has left.

    Remember back when business had to pay a tax on inventory ?

    Trump doesn’t care about what goes on around him. He only cares about self aggrandizement. His actions and words are designed to create chaos.

    Guess what it’s working....

    Trump has a 747-800 sized ego with multiple electronic failures. He simply ignores the ground coming up at him because that would destroy his sense of reality. Trump just doesn't live here anymore, he has flown too close to the sun. Worse, he has surrounded himself with sycophants that eagerly feed an ego attached to a narcissist. Trump's narcissism and ego will be the elements of his destruction currently in progress.

    In short, Trump thinks he is a king.

    An amazing number of people also believe that the leader should follow them....
    Failed leadership 101, don't realize that leading doesn't work that way.
    The people define what they want done by a vote for a person pledging himself to that goal, and then the leader works towards that goal.
    You don't sit in the back seat and tell him how to drive the bus... because you are not the leader, nor the only human being to be considered.


    Unless of course, you are a dem with TDS.

    He certainly isn't impervious to winds swirling around him.

    His stylist didn't use enough hair spray........though I'm not sure there is enough in the world to tame that squirrel nesting on his head.

    I know you think the abuse is entertaining, but you are the only one laughing at yourself.

    Well taking in to account he was Democrat most of his life, it's only normal that some of the old delusions that come with being a Democrat still plaque him to the very day.. Personally I don't think he will ever be totally normal! Don't get me wrong, I myself and once democratic cultist find myself very conflicted at time with issue WHERE the lure of "Free Shlt" cloud my senses..
