Donald Trump's escalating claims about the death toll in Iranian protests and his assertion of total US control over the Strait of Hormuz, along with his statements that Iran is a 'failed nation' that is 'dead,' lacking a navy, air force, and currency, with unpaid soldiers and police, 300% inflation, and leadership in total disarray, are not factual and represent a form of 'confabulation,' where Trump genuinely believes his own false statements.
