Kremlinology is of little value, in my book, when it comes to the Trump Administration. You can't piece together the truth from their statements because their statements are not constructed from a starting point of concealing a specific fact. They are not people who can be said to be capable of knowing things, so they cannot really even lie. They think and feel and then they say the things they think and feel.

In so doing, one can finally go to sleep instead of spending eight hours in bed, wide awake, wondering what the fuck the President meant with his cryptic reference to Hillary Clinton during the debate.
Point well-made. It's a little different when the purpose isn't to lie strategically, but rather to lie because it seems like the best thing to do at the time.
