You will, for some reason, always be able to see Trump’s entire body in a chair, squatting and heaving and canted in an uncanny way that might remind you of Blanka from Street Fighter wearing a suit.
The whole cabinet that Trump has cast is people who live like this—reckless, stupid, proud, strange, unaccountable people who are not so much incapable of learning as they are fundamentally uninterested in any perspective and allergic to any truth but their own.
More to the point, though, there is no point in pressing Trump any further, because he is lying in a way that is so unsophisticated and profound as to be impenetrable.
