Anyone who has known Trump for years, and doesn’t have a stake in his political career or the GOP, says the same. He is unwell and has been getting progressively worse over the past 18 months. https://t.co/k1l3zAgwco— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) August 19, 2018
I thought of it when I saw this Twitter thread this morning:
1. Just a reminder whenever Trump says “fake news!”— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) January 12, 2019
In the early 1980s, a magazine called 7 Days reported on the sales prices of condos in Trump Tower. They cited the prices from the official sales filings with the city.
Trump raged “lies!” and threatened to sue. Then, when...
2...he discovered that 7 Days was owned by a billionaire who wasn’t intimidated by Trump, “John Barron” callled the New York Post to declare that the other billionaires wife was begging Trump to have sex with her. After he, posing as his spokesman, did that, Trump then....— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) January 12, 2019
3...confirmed it with a sly, “can’t deny that” comment. The woman was then interviewed and she said Trump was an infantile pig.— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) January 12, 2019
Or...when he sued because he said a book misrepresented his net worth. He proclaimed “i lost business from that!” When asked under oath what...
4...business he lost, he said something along the lines of “how would I know? I lost it!” He also said he determined his net worth by “how I feel that day.” The case was thrown out. What’s amazing: at that time, records from Deutschebank show, Trump was worth about $700 mill...— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) January 12, 2019
Note that I think Kurt means "the book did not go that low":

Trump lives in a fantasy land. Many of us who covered him used to debate in the 90s - is it an act or is he mentally ill? He’s mentally ill.
So, know this. “Fake news” type claims....
6....have been part of Trump his whole career. Anything that doesn’t praise him is fake. He is unbalanced. In other words, if trump screams “fake news” it’s probably a fake denial from a madman.— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) January 12, 2019
