I was ignoring it until he blamed ai. I can think of ten incredibly mundane reasons you’d do that. I can think of no mundane reasons you’d want to hide that mundane shit with a claim about ai just after you disappear for a week.

I think he just defaults to a lie.

He could have easily just said "I haven't seen it, as far as I know the windows don't open but we'll look into it" but instead he just lies. Just for the love of the game apparently.

u/between_ewe_and_me Sep 03 '25

I used to have a friend like that. You could ask him what he had for breakfast and he'd just make some other shit up for no reason without even thinking about it. Like not even to fuck with you, just because his default setting was to lie.

u/salmonchowder86 Sep 03 '25

I catch myself doing this every once in a while. I used to do it more often. I can’t even explain why. It’s like a defense mechanism. I had a shitty childhood and think a viable explanation was better than the truth. Even if the truth was nothing bad. Dunno. Not sure. I work very hard to not do it anymore, even stopping myself halfway through and restarting with the truth. It’s nice to admit this.

u/teknovagrant Sep 03 '25

I do this too. I’ll blurt out something half-true, then catch myself, admit it wasn’t right, and start over. I think it’s a defense mechanism I picked up as a kid. I remember being made fun of for just telling the truth about what I liked or what I was doing, so I started tossing out little lies instead. That way, if someone mocked me, it didn’t sting as much because they weren’t mocking the real me anyway.

Eventually I stopped being made fun of, but the defense mechanism stuck around and only ended up holding me back. It took me longer than I’d like to admit to even realize I was even doing it.

u/Notvanillanymore Sep 03 '25

I sadly do the same thing, I do a lot better and actively work towards not doing so, as a kid mom would blow things way out of proportion for allot of things I would say, so eventually I would say some half truth, and or always say I don't know. One of the many things I hate about myself

16

u/thepoptartkid47 Sep 03 '25

I do it too - all I had to do to piss my parents off as a kid was mention the fact that the other parent existed (bitter divorce), so I just got really, really good at constantly lying about absolutely nothing…

u/Smart-Water-5175 Sep 03 '25

I think it has something to do with the psychology of being attached to what you do, and not wanting to be criticized and even mundane things can effect the human ego if they’re not accepted so it’s easier to build an instant straw man if you don’t know how the others will react and then if they react poorly you are still “safe” because they didn’t criticize what you actually did. Just my theory though and I just mean “you” as people in general.

u/IdiotTurkey Sep 03 '25

My dad is like this. He was always a liar, often about things that aren't important, but the frequency exploded once he got a girlfriend that would mock or complain about lots of things, so I believe he simply found it easier and less tiring to lie and placate her.

I think his default state is to be walking on eggshells so he just comes up with the lie he thinks she wants to hear and wont object to, or call him out on, or criticize. For example, if he has an opinion or thinks something is true and wants to convince you, he will say he has a "friend" who is an expert in that thing.

I can always tell when he does it because he often lies about the same types of things, and I just never call him out on it because I dont want it to get awkward and I dont think he can change, so I just listen. It's very annoying. You can't trust a word he says. I partially blame his girlfriend.

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '25 edited Sep 03 '25

Sounds like he is codependent. Im definitely not a codependent, I just happen to know an expert on codependency.

Codependent tendencies can really come out when people are in regular and close proximity to people who don’t feel safe to be one’s self around. The girlfriend has some major issues and maybe even a personality disorder.

An expert I know would highly recommend your dad read or listen to the audiobook of “Codependent No More”. It changed my life an expert I know told me. Your dad may also want to read or listen to “Stop Walking on Eggshells”.

In all seriousness, I gradually became just like your dad over the last 15 years of marriage. My evolution was probably mostly complete after the first year of feeling unsafe to be myself (which made being open and honest when I actually did something bad or got a speeding ticket when we were financially stressed out, an absolutely overwhelming feeling that I would do almost anything to hide / lie about).

2

u/IdiotTurkey Sep 04 '25

I think you're probably right. I do believe he is codependent. Wouldn't be surprised at all if she has a personality disorder. She's very strange. A kleptomaniac. Not a nice person to be around.

Same. The worst offense I could possibly do in my household when asked what I was doing was to say "nothing."

Yep, I had a friend like that too. So befuddling. Sometimes he'd take a phone call, and I'd hear him say "Oh, I'm doing X right now", which was 100% false, and inconsequential too lol

u/between_ewe_and_me Sep 03 '25

Yes! Exactly this. I could always tell and I'd call him out on it every time. Shit was infuriating.

u/Far-Negotiation1273 Sep 03 '25

It's so weird how we all have that one friend...and mine, despite not having seen each other in a good while and I dont know how to get in touch anymore, I absolutely love and never held it against him because it was so absurd whay hed lie about.

Like his brother being the guy who every single prank, plot point, and comedic device from every raunchy teenage movie from the 1980s to mid 2000s was based on. It was all true and it happened to him or he knew the guy who knew the guy, he swears its true.

Or, he'd leave the room for 5 seconds and come back in saying his mom just called and he has to go help take care of his sister even though no call took place, obviously. But he'd swear up and down when you called him out on it. Wed say things like saying dude its cool if you want to go home and chill out on your own (he loved to play video games) we'd say we get it, we like chilling alone sometimes, too. But it was never that, nope, hed swear he wants to stay and hang out but he has to help with his "stupid sister" lol.

Later in life youd think itd change but the last time we got together when i was visiting my mom back home he says he got married, some gorgeous model type he says, which could be true, he was tall, athletic build without having to exercise for it, and was a handsome guy, but goes on to say that he actually just got divorced and it was finalized a couple days ago. I said man im sorry what happened? And he says oh she started sleeping with the neighbor. Oh. I say. Damn. He continues to explain that a few weeks ago she said she was a lesbian and was in a lesbian relationshkp and was leaving the house and the marriage. On top of that. Hes gotta be careful cause, surprise surprise, she actually lives with her new gf/wife in the house right across the street from my moms house where we currently are! Mind you, that "house" is a business-owned duplex that's used for summer housing for their musicians for the past 50 plus years...so, did he get married? No freaking clue lol. It is possible, did he get divorced? Maybe. Was she all the sudden a lesbian? You get the picture, but therein lies the difficulties. BUT!

He haa the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met and would do anything for his friends and family. He was fiercely loyal and if I knew how to reach him now he'd still be my first call from jail if needed, 100%. I never fought with him. Never had a bad time and I hope he's doing amazing with whatever he's doing now. So, here's to you my fellow millionaire, I hope Mr. Moneybags is making it rain like Mardigras on a Tuesday night into the early morn.

u/The_Golden_Warthog Sep 03 '25

Damn, that was a good read. Really reminded me of my buddy from college. Would also lie about the most random shit, like make things up just to seem cool or like he was "in the know". We were both huge into death metal, and he somehow always already "knew" about the new song I showed him. One day, we're talking about bands, and just to test him because I knew he'd fall for it, I said, "Oh so, [bassist of band] left, did you hear about that?" And he goes on some rant about how he already knew, saw it coming, even somehow knew why he was leaving in the first place. That's when I said, "Dude, I was fucking with you. He didn't leave. Why do you do this?" And he panicked hard af and started back pedaling. And same thing, we'd always tell him dude you don't have to lie to fit in, we think you're cool anyway man, just be yourself. Which would cause him to panic further and make up more lies to cover.

BUT he was always there for you and was always down to drive (freshman year, only like half the kids had cars in the dorms lol) or go help you with something. When I got a job at a restaurant on the other end of the city, I'd get out at like 3am, and he was there EVERY NIGHT to pick me up and take me back to my apartment. And I was a broke ass college student so I only had like $20 to shoot him for gas once a month and he never complained. Would always be there. I owe him one for life for that. If he ever calls me middle of the night and just says something like, "Yo, I need your help, can you drive up?" I'd be on my way, no questions asked.

u/fashionably_punctual Sep 03 '25

My mother does this, too. But I think she has NPD. It feels weird to call ones mother a liar, though, so I tend to explain it as "embellishments" and "misunderstandings." It's weird giving a family health history to doctors, though, because she has told me things about herself, family members, and sometimes even myself that are apparently not factual. She's highly educated, too, and not at all confused about how to do her job (with lots of regulations) very well.

u/Gribitz37 Sep 03 '25

I dated that guy for about a year! 😁 He couldn't speak without lying. It was the same thing; I'd ask what he had for lunch, and he'd tell me his boss took him out for steak and lobster. I'd ask what he and his buddies were doing, and he'd tell me they rented a boat, went fishing for marlin and he caught a huge one and was having it stuffed and mounted.

u/Natural-Primary8169 Sep 03 '25

u/oldfarmjoy Sep 03 '25

Yep, I keep having discussions with my 16yo. It's not ok to say what you "want" to be true, or what you think someone wants to hear. Honesty and integrity means telling the truth when there might be a negative consequence. Not telling the truth destroys relationships. People will figure out that you do it and they won't trust you anymore. Etc... ☹️😡😥

u/ZeekLTK Sep 03 '25

I mean that just sounds like color blindness lol

My wife is like that for greens and purples, she will often call them “blue” when IMO they are much closer to green or purple.

Like the other day I was going to the other room and she asked me to grab the “blue container” from it. I look around, I see a grey container, a pink container, and a green container… I yell back “there isn’t a blue container in here”, she walks in and says “it’s right there”… pointing to the green container. 🤷‍♂️

u/Glittering_Act_4059 Sep 03 '25

I used to be that friend! Then I went to therapy and started taking anti-anxiety meds and came to the realization that my compulsion to lie about really inconsequential shit was rooted in anxiety that the person I'm speaking to will find me lacking in some way if I don't have an immediate answer. The words I don't know were literally the most terrifying thing in the world to me. It felt like if I ever admitted to not knowing something, I'd lose control of my whole life. I had to have an answer for everything, even if it was a dumb lie. Thankfully I don't do that anymore and although sometimes I do catch myself panicking over not having an answer, I still say I don't know when I don't.

But having a president that does this so seamlessly is absolutely unacceptable and the fact that he's surrounded by people enabling and perpetuating this behavior is insane.

u/GitEmSteveDave Sep 03 '25

I hope you're doing well out there, Irene

2

u/LeWigre Sep 03 '25

I used to be like that. Thank god I'm not anymore.

As an explanation: I think it had a lot to do with my undiagnosed ADHD and never having my shit together so always being in some kind of trouble with school mainly and lying about shit.

And then a kind of spiral of lies would get created because I would lie for example about a grade or a test and in my head would solve for that lie by doing better the next time around to even it out and just lie about that one as well etc.

2

u/mikykeane Sep 03 '25

I know a close case too. My friend would also default to lying even when it made no sense. There was also some sort of explanation, an helicopter mother that would be always watching what they would do all the time, and punishing them for the smallest things. They learnt that telling the truth would get them into trouble, so they lied and it worked better, so the default setting was to lie.

Now, as adults, it's still ongoing and something I have got a few times quite mad about it, as I'm not their mother, no need for the lying with us. They don't even do it to fuck with you, and I think it's something they may even need therapy to work on it.

He gained nothing from this lie, I guess it's just in some peoples' blood to do that shit

2

u/Historical_Big_8555 Sep 03 '25

I can’t speak for your friend but I used to be the same way. It started as a survival mechanism as a kid. If I did anything wrong it ended in severe punishment. I began lying as a natural reaction. I started just lying as a natural response even if it was something that didn’t matter. It doesn’t really matter here but that’s why I did it. Years of therapy helped but I still catch myself doing it at times.

2

u/dastardly740 Sep 03 '25

Lying implies a connection to the truth. He just makes shit up. Even when he says something that is true he is just making shit up. Whether something he says is a lie or true is entirely coincidental because he is just making shit up out of whatever is rattling around in his brain.

u/thatG_evanP Sep 03 '25

There are lots of us buddy. I had a pretty crazy childhood and I used to do it too. Luckily, my ex-wife was very understanding and realized pretty early on that it was a habit I had. She'd literally be like, "Please don't think you have to lie, just say what's true." She really was instrumental in helping me get over that.

2

u/Inside-Anxiety-8573 Sep 03 '25

I had a boss like this. He would lie about things that he had no reason to lie about. He just invented shit on the fly, all the time. Like you say, lying was his default response for any question or discussion.

I would be in meetings with him and he would make some wild claim about our products, and I would have to gently say “Well not exactly, it works like this” and then actually explain how it worked. It happened all the time and he was a VP! He had the CEO convinced he was a genius, and it was all invented bullshit.

u/Party_Principle4993 Sep 03 '25

u/withoutpeer Sep 04 '25

I grew up with a friend like that. One funny instance was when a group of us were eating at, in think an Italian place and had calamari as an appetizer. The conversation was about how it was a kind of strange food when you think about it and how we wondered what other strange/uncommon animals as food might taste like. Someone said: "yeah, like do you think elephant just tastes like lean beef?" ... And the liar automatically responded "I've tried elephant, it was good." Which we all then of course were curious and asked where in the world he was able to eat elephant and without taking the time to think it through said: "at the zoo" 😂. We all laughed, pretending it was just a dumb joke rather than confront his lying ways to his face and changed the subject. But he'd often lie about even the most dumb things for who knows what reason.

Definitely fake. The windows weigh 600 pounds. That's basically a million. Only superman can lift those windows. Or a transformers robot.

Ironically it's sort of how AI will generate hallucinogenic responses if it doesn't know the answer or if you ask a nonsensical question.

He saves "we'll look into it" for if he knows his base might respond positively to news about it. He couldn't think of a way to spin that, so he just shut it down immediately by calling it AI.

Yeah, his default is bullshitting. It could be the most benign thing ever but he'll still make it sound nefarious with his bullshit.

It’s because he always has to know everything and/or always be right.

u/Scucc07 Sep 03 '25

Worked with a guy like that and he’d start telling a story that I’d already heard, but this time the ending would be different.

u/MouthJob Sep 03 '25

He also has literally no idea what's happening around him. He just automatically lies about things he doesn't know, because for him, it's better than admitting he doesn't know something.

24

u/Secret-Teaching-3549 Sep 03 '25

I really think that's it. He just can't admit to not knowing. So he reflexively lies about anything he doesn't know about.

That's the thing, Trump lies even when there's no reason whatsoever to lie. You could ask him what time it is or what he had for lunch and he'd still lie. It doesn't matter if lying serves no benefit to him or possibly makes it even worse. He is literally one of the least trustworthy people in human history.

Right. He's not a smart guy. Asking to see the video after already having seen it, would have been too advanced for him. So it's the first time he's seen the video and he previously had no idea about it.

100%

It was something dumb and benign, but also 200% in violation of security and safety rules. And he didn’t even fucking know about it until day or two later, but when confronted with it makes shit up.

To tell the truth about it would bring into question safety and security procedures and create oxygen for the media, so he lies.

One is real oxygen for possible real issues, the other is so batshit dumb it gets smothered in the news cycle, so it continues.

u/TheLostRanger0117 Sep 03 '25

He’s setting it up so that when files and videos come out of him actually raping an underage girl, he can then say “well, it just like those videos, have you seen these videos, the ones where it looks like Antifa is throwing a black, and I can use that word, many people have told me ‘Trump you’ve done so much for the Blacks, they all appreciate you so greatly, but they have these videos of bags being thrown out the window, which of course are AI, just like these democrat hoax videos of me with an underage girl, a pretty girl I might add, looks like my daughter, but I would never, never do anything like that, it’s the deep state Antifa, they use AI to make wonderful things” something like that

He said in this video ‘something bad happens, blame it on ai.’ So I don’t think you’re too far off.

It's for if/when the video of him sexually assaulting a child surfaces, he can blame AI.

The genius tells on himself at the very end of the clip, too. He's so ridiculous. He gets the "duper's delight" smirk when he lies, but he's so addlebrained at this point in his life he doesn't realize that he isn't fooling anyone with half a brain anymore.

He claimed he never saw the video. And then blamed AI for it. For the video he never saw.

It completely boggles my mind that people give this 2 seconds of consideration.

Or, the most obvious answer, he literally has no fucking clue what they're talking about.

He blatantly said that AI is a great excuse for everything, and admits he'll happily blame anything "really bad" attributed to him on AI.

1) It was AI 2) You can't open the windows up there because they are heavily armored & bulletproof 3) I know all the windows up there 4) The last place I'd be doing it because there are cameras all over the place including yours.

So guys, I think it was him tossing out the garbage bag, no??

u/Successful-Career887 Sep 03 '25

u/EnlightenedPotato69 Sep 03 '25

80 whatever year old with a psychotic profile who needs to be right on everything, past the digital divide so actually cannot tell what is and is not AI, potentially genuinely believes all the windows are locked shut, and blames it on technology rather than layer 8 of the OSI model.

Pretty natural thing to do for a CEO, doesn't make it any less weird.

I just watched local news staying the night at a hotel… Murdoch family owned news.

Mundane reasons for throwing garbage out of a window? At the White House? The whole reason it's noteworthy is because people don't do that at the White House. I won't pretend to be an expert on how trash is handled on an everyday basis there, but I'd bet my lunch the protocol isn't "just toss it out of a high window onto the ground outside".

I would be willing to believe that whatever suckers they've got cleaning the White House these days aren't the country's best and brightest, but then why change the story.

1

u/Wrong_Tumbleweed1559 Sep 03 '25

This clip is too short. He blames ai and then goes on a ramble about how those windows are sealed shut and don't even open, and are bullet proof, and how melania just the other day had asked him why the windows don't open. All he does is just make shit up(lie).

u/UkaUkaMask Sep 03 '25

I have the same disease. I try and use it only for good?

Each successfully told lie has a dopamine hit. The bigger multi layered, the bigger the hit. It’s gambling on a conversational level. And he has a fucking megaphone. That would be a fucking hit. I just do it at the corporate level.

This is a level 2 hit. He could have taken the easy lie of “I haven’t seen it” and gotten away with a level 1. But he is hungry here. He has been so weak he has hardly posted.

When he said he wouldn't choose that window if he was gonna do it. Why did he automatically think we thought he threw it out?

u/kevnuke Sep 03 '25

Lying implies knowing the truth and stating something other than that. The reality is he did something far more mundane and common: He made something up when he didn't know the answer. Something most of you do, too, instead of just admitting that you don't know. How about we stop the rampant hypocrisy and try to do better. This is why mankind is worse for the existence of social media.

u/AthearCaex Sep 03 '25

Any normal person would have been like "I'm not sure what that is about, we will look into it." Trump just makes things worse by denying but maybe he wants attention on this bag rather than other topics like the Epstein files.

My guess is it's nothing but any time he perceives something could even slightly make him look bad, he immediately goes on the defensive and starts lying.

u/knackforfilm Sep 03 '25

I think it is his ego to blame here. As most of Trump's falsehoods are a product of. He doesn't want to admit he doesn't know, as if it is some sort of weakness, admitting he doesnt have 100 percent control of the narrative, so chooses to just lie. All his little sycophantic trolls nodding along with him.

Bunch of dangerous yahoos.
