All human beings lie.
All politicians lie.
All Presidents lie.
This is reality!
At times, when Presidents lie, it can affect us in a deleterious manner, as with Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon in Vietnam, and George W. Bush in Iraq.
Presidents can be seen as manipulating public opinion when they lie, as with Dwight D. Eisenhower and the U-2 Spy Plane Incident in 1960, or Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Lend Lease Act in 1941.
Also, Presidents lose credibility when they lie about sex scandals, as for instance, with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
Presidents lie to promote their own image and cause.
But we have NEVER had a President like Donald Trump.
He lies about his financial status.
He lies about his extramarital affairs with women.
He lies about his medical history and condition.
He lies about historical facts.
He lies about his religious beliefs, which are nonexistent.
He lies to everyone he works with, and deceives all of his staff about their status, uses them and disposes of them.
He lies to foreign leaders and governments, and is totally inconsistent on every foreign policy issue imaginable.
He lies to Congressional leaders and members of both political parties, and his word is not be relied upon, as he can change his mind from one day to another.
He is loyal to no one but himself, and has disposed of two wives, and mistreats his present wife, and sees his children as an absentee father all of his life, too busy to be engaged in their upbringing, including his youngest son, Barron, but also his four adult children in the past.
Donald Trump is a horrible role model as a man, a husband, a father, and as a President who only cares about hunself.
His narcissistic personality makes him unable to care about anyone else.
He has stepped over people of all backgrounds in his constant quest to satisfy his insatiable ego, but at heart, he is a man of great insecurity and unhappiness, as he worships money in a way that indicates serious mental illness.
The sooner Donald Trump is removed from office, the better for America!
If it makes you feel any better, he is deeply anxious and insecure. He is not a happy person. I’m sorry if that doesn’t make you feel any better about the awful things he has done, is doing, and will do.
Life is hard. Then you die. Donald Trump is death by a thousand cuts.
Trumpty Dumbty is skipping the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight. Instead, he’s going to have a rally in Michigan.

I watched the coverage of the dinner. Thought the jokes by the comedian were very nasty and inappropriate and it makes our side look bad.
I second what Pragmatic has said. My take was the same assessment as this: https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/29/politics/michelle-wolf-whcd-takeaways/index.html
That CNN article nails it!
I agree with the others. Some of Ms. Wolf’s jokes were funny but she crossed the line with personal attacks. A lot of her jokes were on the level of Trump. We Democrats shouldn’t be stooping to that level.
It was more than just the Sarah Sanders thing. Ms. Wolf was dropping multiple F bombs, made a joke about abortion, made a joke about exploding SW Airlines engines. Very tasteless, in my opinion.
Sounds like John Kelly is going bye by next. News has leaked out that he’s called Trump an idiot.
Mueller time! Questions Mueller wants to ask Trump.

I side with this from Daily Kos. This is a joke that Ms. Wolf did on Seth Rogan’s Netflix charity show. Still too vulgar for me. This isn’t the kind of comedian I believe in supporting as a liberal.

Trump’s former doctor said that Trump’s bodyguard and a lawyer raided his office, taking Trump’s medical records.

My guess….Trump is trying to hide something yet again.
Trump got a new lawyer, preparing for a showdown with Mueller.

LOL! Giuliani went on Hannity’s show and contradicted Trump on Stormy Daniels and James Comey.

Guess Trumpty Dumbty will get us into war with China over this.
