    I don’t like Trump, but it’s not like other presidents were always telling he truth. The most important skill required to be successful in politics is lying. Unashamedly and convincingly.

    You don’t win elections by telling the truth, you win them by telling people the lies they want to hear.

      There’s a hefty difference between omission, carefully constructed language and embellished promises as opposed to blatant, pathological, who-you-gonna-believe-me-or-your-lying-eyes fabrication of facts.

      The former is a construct all adults resort to in order to get by without enraging or provoking other people.

      The latter is gaslighting usually employed by narcissist sociopaths.

    Breaking news: Politicians lie. They tell people what they want to hear, not what is true, to get elected. Once elected, they continue to lie, because if the told the naked truth, the torches and pitchforks would come out.

    And the absolute worst thing that could happen might happen. They might not get reelected.
