Washington (CNN) — 

Former President Donald Trump is littering his public remarks with fictional stories.

This isn’t run-of-the-mill political spin, the kind of statistic-twisting and accomplishment-exaggerating that political candidates of all stripes engage in. Rather, the Republican presidential nominee is telling colorful lies that are completely untethered to reality.

Harris and the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Trump told a vivid story on Fox News in late August about how President Joe Biden supposedly sent Harris to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2022 in an effort to prevent an invasion of Ukraine. Trump claimed Harris was sent “to see Putin in Russia three days before the attack. She went. She said – she gave her case. He attacked three days later. He attacked three days later. He laughed at her. He thought she was a joke.” Trump also told a version of the story at the September debate.

But this story, too, is wholly false.

Biden never sent Harris to negotiate with Putin – in fact, the Kremlin said in July that Harris and Putin have never spoken – and Harris did not travel to Russia just prior to the invasion. Rather, Harris traveled to a conference in Germany to meet with US allies, including Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.

Virtually every part of Trump’s story here is FALSE:

1. Biden did NOT send Harris to see Putin in Russia three days before Russia attacked Ukraine.

2. Biden did NOT at ANY TIME send Harris to see Putin in Russia in an effort to prevent an invasion of Ukraine.

3. Harris did NOT at ANY TIME meet with Putin before Russia attacked Ukraine.

4. Harris did NOT at ANY TIME before Russia invaded Ukraine make her case in person to Putin that Russia should not invade Ukraine.

If Trump actually believes that Biden sent Harris to Russia to try to persuade Putin not to invade Ukraine, then Trump is DELUSIONAL and completely out of touch with reality. In this case, he would be confusing what he wished had happened with reality.

I believe that Trump is an IDIOT, but I doubt that he is DELUSIONAL to this extent. Rather, he simply makes shit up about Harris, and then spews his LIES in public, in order to deceive millions of gullible Americans into thinking that Harris is weak and incompetent.

Trump does not care whether what he says is true or false. The only thing he cares about is wealth and power. He LIES freely on a daily basis because he is a SOCIOPATH. Trump is the last person on earth who should be the leader of the United States of America.
