His whole life is a lie. He views his opponents' statements, and all facts not profitable to him as lies.

Everyone around him is a liar. And anyone who trusts him is thrown under the bus in a matter of Scaramucci's.

Which liar does he listen to, when one liar calls an other a liar?

I say, unpredictable, when the profitable side is unclear.

To him, the only truth is money.
