He reminds me of my dad.
I won't specify which property, because that would basically be admitting to illegal actions, but my dad is fully convinced that he got the proper permits to turn a duplex into a fourplex. Mom and I have told him over and over that he did not get the permits, because it would have cost too much. But he doesn't remember it that way. He remembers going about it legally, and there's no way to change his mind. The false memory keeps overwriting the truth.
That's what's happening to Donald Trump. He's not lying. He's telling what he thinks happened. He's allowed a false memory to overwrite what we all know.
