This is a good example of a mind that doesn't know how to organize its thinking.

Trump is the same, and I think those folks lie partly because it is all they can do, and so they rely on it.

" His answer to the question “Do you support any new gun laws in the wake of this Texas shooting,” which was “ What I like to do is see it and everything and stuff,”
