Trump the anti-truth teller

February 11 2017

Only three weeks into his administration and Trump is already a national disgrace. The majority of his cabinet nominations represent the antithesis of the very departments they are now running. His immigration ban was judged to be unconstitutional, poorly thought out, and racist. His resulting tweets have showered the honorable judiciary with infantile insults that are outrageous. His blatant support for his daughter's business from his seat of power is a shocking conflict of interest. His national security advisor has been caught out promising the Russians that the Obama sanctions against Russia for interference in the US election would be reviewed once Trump was in power; a possible criminal act. Trump has constantly attacked the media as lying about him and his administration when the facts speak differently. Trump lives in his own braggadocio world of alternative truth. He is a pathological liar as evidenced by the pages and pages of reports of his lies published on the politico site. The republicans, who once despised this man, are now trying to rationalize his actions and provide cover for him; shame on them. All those who voted for him are responsible for this decline in civility, this demeaning of the office of president, and the demise of our democratic institutions. Republicans need to search their souls, if they still have one, to stand up against this demagoguery which if left unchecked will ruin our nation
