The question as to whether we should believe anything Donald Trump says is largely settled. He lies so routinely and so obviously, that the surprising things is to find something he has said is actually true. That should seem a shocking indictment of anyone, but is particularly unnerving when it's about the president of the United States.
The more substantive question is whether he knows he is lying. Could he conceivably not himself be able to tell the difference between fiction and imagination, between what is true and the way he would like the world around him to be? It that's so, then he is in a truly delusional state of mind; and that should be deeply worrying to everyone.
