Donald Trump admits to using aliases two weeks after denying it -this fugger is sick

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/26/donald-trump-publicist-alias-jimmy-kimmel-live
<snip>

Less than two weeks after denying that he ever pretended to be a publicist named John Miller or John Barron in promoting his business affairs with reporters, Trump admitted on Wednesday that “over the years I have used aliases”. He added “I used the name Barron” and explained that was the inspiration for the name of his youngest son, Barron Trump.

The presumptive Republican nominee had previously admitted under oath to using aliases and was infamous for doing so among New York reporters in the 1980s.

However, Trump denied he had done so earlier this month after audio emerged several weeks ago of Trump posing as “John Miller” in a 1991 interview with a reporter for People magazine.

Trump still denied to Kimmel that it was his voice in the audio, first published by the Washington Post, saying “to me that didn’t sound like my voice”. However, shortly after the 1991 interview to People, he had admitted it was him, claiming it was “a joke gone awry”.

Trump’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! was nearly solo when R&B singer The Weeknd and rapper Belly canceled their performance in protest at the Republican’s appearance.

I know the Weimar Republic analogy has been used ad nauseum, but I'm beginning to identify with that recurrent disbelief among reasonable Germans that surely their fellow Germans wouldn't fall for THAT, after each step into more insanity.

As other writers have pointed out. Trump is more like Mussolini than Hitler, and Mussolini was apparently still a lot better read than Trump.

He's a batterer and sociopath with mob connections. It's incomprehensible that people can rationalize supporting him.

Kimmel asked him about all the good things he said about Hillsry in past years.


Trump said as a business person I said good stuff about everyone. Whoever they asked me about I said good things.

Kimmel says so you were full of ##*#?
Trump agreed.

Other public, Trump comments suggest that he has at least one serious personality disorder.

room or on a couch with racist Trump. The Op mentions at the end Trump had Kimmel all to himself as the other guests canceled
Belly was another guest who cancelled. Kimmel needed the weekend because he is hot right now not the other way around . Good on him canceling on Kimmel . Who wants to ruin a great time in his life by being in the same room as Trump

It is earlier in this Opening Post. There appears to be a great deal of interest in discussing Trump mental conditions. I might try an Opening Post with a few Trump quotes to support the previous discussion and comments by other DU members.
