Expecting Donald Trump to be honest about anything is guaranteed to lead to bitter disappointment. He is a pathological liar whose self-serving distortions of reality are his way of avoiding having to face the torrent of failures that define his existence. His malignant narcissism prevents him from seeing anything he does or says as anything but perfection.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the tragic events in Afghanistan, Trump predictably embarked on a frantic crusade to absolve himself of any responsibility. And naturally he blamed it all on Joe Biden<\/a><\/strong>. It’s the same deranged defensiveness he had to the COVID pandemic that he so horrendously bitched, and the January 6th insurrection he deliberately incited.<\/p>\n

However, Trump’s raging irrationality inevitably fouls up his attempts to exalt himself no matter what disaster he produces. On Monday morning he said that “Afghanistan is the most embarrassing military outcome in the history of the United States,”<\/em> in a proxy tweet<\/a><\/strong> that his spokes-shill, Liz Harrington, posted for him (a violation Twitter\u2019s rules<\/a><\/strong> against circumventing a ban). But Trump can be seen on video bragging profusely about the conditions for which he is now castigating President Biden. Here is Trump just one month ago at one of his cult rallies:<\/p>\n

\u201cI started the process. All the troops are coming back home. They couldn\u2019t stop the process. Twenty-one years is enough, don’t we think? Twenty-one years. They couldn\u2019t stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process when other things were… Yeah, thank you.<\/p>\n

It’s a shame. Twenty-one years by a government that wouldn’t last. The only way they last is if we’re there. What are we gonna say? We’ll stay for another twenty-one years, then we’ll stay for another fifty? The whole thing is ridiculous.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
