Donald Trump, we know this about him very well. He loves to gaslight. I mean, given his behavior,

he must also love elaborate cover-ups. He's very into them, it seems. And we know this, because

every time there's a story in the news he doesn't like and doesn't want to talk about, he does

some version of the following. One, when possible, he says, he knows nothing about it. How often have

claiming his taxes were under audit, then fighting all the way up to the Supreme Court to try

and block their release. None of that is really the behavior of someone who has nothing to hide,

to state the obvious. And we were seeing a version of the same pattern play out over

and over and over again. I mean, take his medical records. Trump claims that concerns about his

declining health are just made up and that he's actually in excellent shape. I mean, according to
