“Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don’t mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don’t know whether it’s a new thing, but it’s certainly a current thing, in that it doesn’t seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that’s not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. It’s certainty. People love the president because he’s certain of his choices as a leader, even if the facts that back him up don’t seem to exist. It’s the fact that he’s certain that is very appealing to a certain section of the country. I really feel a dichotomy in the American populace. What is important? What you want to be true, or what is true?” – Stephen Colbert
“I always want to tell the truth. When I can, I tell the truth.” Donald J. Trump. (See https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/11/01/trump_when_i_can_i_tell_the_truth_.html)
So if he’s pathologically incapable of telling the truth, the qualification of “When I can” lets him off the hook, right? /s
True..actually.. He has others cover up for him. The secret to his alleged success.. use other peoples money.. have others go to war.. non disclosure agreements.. lawyers to hide his misdeeds.. And just yesterday.. force others to praise him.. with a “mirror mirror on the wall… who is the fairest of them all”

He’s an abysmal failure at cover-ups. The truth comes out. It’s just a matter of who believes his bs.

It would be MUCH BETTER if he climbed in the hole FIRST then pulled the dirt in on top of himself!

Hallmarks of the liar presidencies:

Right. Your quote there is as sick, and telling, as Nixon’s, “I am not a crook.”
