Does he even know what sarcasm is?  No more than he knows what "truth" is.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I've commented before on Trump's mental illness, but I missed this one.... which includes audio tape evidence: Too Sick To Lead: The Lethal Personality Disorder Of Donald Trump.

The Twenty-fifth Amendment (Amendment XXV) to the United States Constitution deals with succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, as well as responding to Presidential disabilities. Section 4 provides (in part): Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue... (Emphases added) What if the President that is elected is mentally incapable of performing his duties? How soon after his inauguration will Trump be so unstable that his Cabinet revolts?

One may think I am being rhetorical or hyperbolic by raising this issue, but I am dead serious. I am deeply, deeply concerned that Donald Trump's obvious mental health issues are a clear and present danger to the Union (which is, I think, why so many Republican leaders are keeping their distance). Could Donald Trump Pass a Sanity Test?

One clear and present danger to security of the country is having a president that is a proven pathological liar, which also attests to his "lack of sanity". This, too, is not hyperbole, but rather easily verifiable by merely going over all of the "statements" he has made over the course of his public life to the present. His unfitness to hold ANY public office is glaringly apparent.
All politicians "bend the truth" and some really just lie, but his is a pathological case. I believe it could be medically certified.

Well, he did get 32/40 on the psychopath test. That's not conclusive but scores of 30 and higher indicate the syndrome.
Maybe we don't need to institutionalize him, but at least he should have "psychopath" tattooed on his forehead so everybody he meets knows it. Most people have never interacted with a psychopath, so they fail to recognize them. Superficially, they can be very glib and charming.
Just like my father: Educated, charming, and intellectual with a PhD. Also deemed to be a psychopath unlikely to benefit from treatment by the state prison system because he was so intelligent. He could have used a tattoo too.

The latest evidence: Backlash for Trump after he lashes out at the Muslim parents of a dead U.S. soldier. I have to agree with this assessment from a Republican strategist: "He has NO redeeming qualities."

for Republicans (and they would be the only ones who would matter if he is elected) would be faced with this simple comparison
Trump lies <---> Clinton lies
anyone want to guess which way they would vote???
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

Trump retreats from claim that NFL sent letter regarding debates. That's two bald-faced lies this week. He also walked back claims he had a "great relationship" with Putin. Trump is trying to undermine the debates because he knows he's going to perform poorly.
