How is we know just what a “tremendous” businessman and stud with the ladies Donald Trump is?
Well, he told us himself.
A top aide to Donald Trump said on Sunday he did not believe the Republican presidential front-runner once posed as his own spokesman to brag about his personal life, a controversy that came as Democrats sharpen their attacks on the billionaire's character.
The Washington Post released an audio recording on Friday of a man who identified himself as Trump publicist "John Miller" and talked about the real estate tycoon's romantic encounters in a 1991 conversation with a People magazine reporter.
Trump's willingness to pose as a fake spokesman first emerged in 1990, when he testified during a lawsuit that he had used the pseudonym John Baron, sometimes rendered in news reports as John Barron, when speaking to journalists by telephone.
"Lots of people use pen names," Newsday quoted Trump as saying after his testimony. "Ernest Hemingway used one."
Sure Hemingway used a pseudonym...for writing fiction. Which is exactly what Donald Trump is, a self created fiction.

A serial liar
Trump sought the press and reveled in his coverage.
"We did give him a lot of attention and that's what he wants and that's what he has parlayed into his presidential bid," says Mulcahy.
But she quickly noticed in her dealings with the mogul how seldom he told the truth. In her op-ed Mulcahy said Trump lied about 90% of the time.
"If I could say that again, I would say 99.9%," she laughs. "I was being generous."
The person the Republican party is getting behind for this General election is one of the most dishonest and undependable options available.

Would that stop him? Would that stop his followers? They obviously don't care about honesty and dependability. They're looking for magic. Could we ever use another HL Mencken!
"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby."
― H.L. Mencken, Notes on Democracy
