His "dishonesty" is not pathological. According to a prominent political psychologist,"Pathological means that someone is going to go from one lie to the next to the next, possibly without control," and according to this psychologist, who rather sees "him as a master manipulator. He's deliberate in his fabrication," or, per Widipedia, "Pathological lying can be described as a habituation of lying. It is when an individual consistently lies for no personal gain."

I suppose that well placed fabrications can be in the best interest of our country. Just about all politicians and most world leaders seem to think so. They consistently fabricate narratives that favor what they wish to achieve when it is necessary either to get votes, or to persuade whomever they debate or negotiate with.

It happens when you are drunk on the Trump coolaid, it allows you to ingnore the means, if it justifys the ends. It narrows you focus, so you don’t see anything outside the narrow vision the coolaid produces and things are reversed in your mind; loosing becomes winning, wrong becomes right, lying becomes truth.

Could you specify the means and ends you're referring to? Could you narrow your focus on those means and ends so that I can better know the coolaid I'm drinking? Then I will be able to see things as clearly as you do.

It’s much better to just sit back, put your feet up and enjoy it than to try to figure out why it’s bad for you.

I think it's much better to do both. Might take a little more gumption, but lazy can make you stupid.
