LYING is so disastrous to our politics!!

For some lying is almost like breathing.. take our current President for instance.. Trump lies, people confront him with his lies and he just continues.. He cannot be shamed into truth telling because he has such a warped view of humanity.. people are just there for his use to get ahead and make money.. lying is just another tactic..


But in fact, lying is the source of all evil.not money.. but lying.. We all make mistakes.. we make decisions on faulty information or too quickly before we get all the facts.. no one is immune to that.. but when a normal person is confronted with that.. they take it in and make amends or turn the boat around as my folks used to say..

Not our current resident of the white house..

His incessant lying hinders everyone when they are trying to make decisions..He has worn down the republican party to the point of .." give him anything, just to shut him up" We are all held hostage by Trumps lies.. Other world leaders are held hostage.. he is terrifying..

I have often wondered how people could follow crazed leaders like Hitler.. Pol Pot.. Jim Jones etc.. how can people be led around by such obviously deranged people.. I think they just get worn down and give up fighting..

That is what Trump hopes we will do.. it has been effective for him all his life.. just keep lying till you beat them down

I fear for our country ..
