Does Trump make you even consider absurdities?

From Politifact regarding one of the presider-in-chief's most recent lies:
"The baby is born," Trump said. "The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby."
From Esquire.com and Charles P. Pierce:
On Saturday, El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago had another one of his irregularly scheduled public episodes in front of people in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He bragged about his magnificent economic achievements to an audience in America's Dairyland, despite the fact that Wisconsin's dairy farms have begun to blow away in a strong breeze. Everybody cheered because MAGA.

There's not much commentary I can add to this except to quote 18th-Century French philosopher Voltaire.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
