Why does Trump continue to lie even after his lies have been debunked?

Gen. Pershing lie told in February, 2016, debunked, and yet, he tweeted it again, August 17, 2017. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.asp

"Thanks to Trump's Pershing tweet, I'm buying stock in the pork industry as fast as I can." Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro.

    All cons do that, until it just becomes ridiculous to continue..then they will switch to a different lie, pretending they never supported point A to begin with

    Until some time has passed, then they will bring up Point A again as if it were fact

    Rinse and repeat

    lies are an integral part of the conservative DNA

    without lies they would cease to exist

    so it is instinctual for conservatives to lie

    You can lie as many times as you want if you call the truth fake news.

    Have you been hiding under a bright computer screen that makes you so dizzy you believe all that jazz. You know how many lies are in circulation currently about everything from Obama to Trump to the cure for cancer. The internet makes a perfect lie machine, along with the media, and I think it is because few people understand how to research the truth. They think reading it twice is research enough to confirm a statement as truth. Honestly? The average American thinks surfing the internet is research. WAY far from it. You can't see the anger? You don't think people will play games in big groups JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN and the internet makes it easy for them to? Crawl out from under that internet screen, my friend. Angry people DO play games in large groups on all sides. I know you can see that, right?

    Oh cut the crap; Trump is the only one who is telling the truth. If you want to talk about lies then why not recall all those nasty lies that Bill and Hilary been apart of.

    Ben Shapiro's smarter than to believe anything Trump says.

    Or is he? Now, I have some doubts

    Trump, in this regard, is a typical conservative. They NEVER admit to lies or to being wrong.

    NEVER!!

    If he repeats it often enough, it becomes the truth.
