Many people are asking would Saint Augustine, who seems to have been a Catholic, consider tRump a liar? This is a more difficult question to answer than I first thought. Augustine listed seven categories of liars, but he did not consider people like you and me who tell lies to gain an end to be genuine liars. He reserved "liar" for one who "takes delight in lying, rejoicing in the falsehood itself." In short, pure evil.
tRump, at times, clearly lies to gain an end. His big lie about election cheating was designed--about 2015--to reverse the election results or at least to fog over his shame as a loser. Saint Augustine would not label him a liar for that.
But tRump also pointlessly lies all day long about everything. He does this because he likes it. He's alway been so rich he could make some ordinary people around him eat poop. His life has been a power trip. That's why, according to Saint Augustine, tRump will soon die and go to Hell.
