Completely detached from reality....is just that he's a pathological liar or totally crazy or a combination? His claims are demonstrably false, why don't democrats just run ads on Al media with his claim vs the reality?

In his new concentration camp, Trump is befuddled by the word detainees, twice, and decides it must be about him.
It is impossible to overstate how absurd it is that this horrifically unwell man is being allowed to destroy the country and the world like this.
REPORTER: Is there a specific time frame you expect the detainees to spend here days, weeks, months? And does that have anything to do with the immigration judges you just spoke about being trained and staffed here?
TRUMP: When you say what was the first part of your question?
REPORTER: Is there a specific timeframe you expect the detainees to spend here, days, weeks, months?
TRUMP: In Florida?
REPORTER: Yes, here in Alligator Alcatraz.
TRUMP: Look this is my home state I love it. I love your government. These are all friends of mine. They know very well. I'm not surprised that they do so well. They're great people. Ron has been a friend of mine for a long time. I feel very comfortable in the state. I'll spend a lot of time here. I want to, for four years, I've got to be in Washington and I'm okay with it because I love the White House. I even fix up the little Oval Office. I make it, it's like a diamond. It's beautiful, it's so beautiful. It wasn't maintained properly, I will tell you that. But even when it wasn't, it was still the Oval Office, so it meant a lot. But I'll spend as much time as I can here. My vacation is generally here because it's convenient. I live in Palm Beach, it's my home. And I have a very nice little place, nice little cottage to stay at, right? But we have a lot of fun and I'm a big contributor to Florida. You don't pay a lot of tax and a lot of people move from New York. And I don't know what New York is going to do. A lot of people moved to Florida from New York and it was for a lot of reasons. But one of them was taxes. The taxes are so high in New York they're leaving. I don't know what New York is going to do about that because some of the biggest wealthiest people and some of the people that paid the most taxes of any people anywhere in the world for that matter, they're moving to Florida and other places. So we're going to have to help some of these states out I think. But thank you very much. I'll be here as much as I can. Very nice question.
