Has America become numb to the lies of this POTUS?

[DrLove]

Indeed, Trump divines his own truth seemingly without consequences. And Americans have become largely indifferent to the daily barrage of lies and scandals. Sad

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump has learned he can get away with anything.

While the President has always profited from creating his own reality, the impact of having a commander in chief who so frequently bends fact is only beginning to be understood.

Before Trump, the idea of having a President who habitually fails to tell the truth and survives would have been unthinkable. But it's becoming clear that Trump's tenure is not just a lesson in fractured presidential convention. It amounts to a unique challenge to the office of the presidency itself, to the institutions that underpin American democracy and the long-held idea that government can only function effectively if it has the trust of the governed.

The most shocking aspect of the President's latest flurry of untruths in recent days relating to events before the 2016 election is that they were not at all shocking to a nation numbed by his barrage of easily disprovable claims and statements.

Revelations that Trump dictated a doctor's report on his health before voters went to the polls and his ever-shifting story on a hush payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels might have been a debilitating blow to any normal politician.

In Trump's case, they were simply more of the same flurry of daily controversies that characterize his presidency. While his critics reacted with outrage, his supporters saw media fact checks as just more "fake news."​

I can't think of a better way to spend 10 minutes than reading a CNN article.

 

[BlindBoo]

Too funny America. Life imitates art.

 

[TNHarley]

Gawd, we should be. They have been lying their asses off for YEARS

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I guess Trump is lot like people who run multiple sock accounts at USMB: they all say the same thing so you tune them out after a while.

Too funny America. Life imitates art.

Folks were awake in 1985. They understood humor and recognized a lie when they heard one.

I'm not so sure now, and it definitely isn't funny anymore.

Trump lies faster than we can fact check

By the time we have provided the correct information, Trump has already told two more lies

 

[Some Guy]

Be honest: do you want Trump out of office because of his lies or his policy? If it's the latter, then his lies don't really matter much, you want him out anyway. If it's the former, then you'd have a problem with every single politician because they all lie, to some degree. Is Trump just the first to break some mystical lie threshold?

Trump should name Lovitz as his press secretary

Yes, numb to Trump's lies, ignorance, stupidity, bigotry, racism, and incompetence.

Yea, yea
Every politician stretches the truth now and then

The difference is that because of the ease at which Trump lies, he has no credibility at home or abroad

Then you, and anyone for that matter, shouldn't be worried about what he says.

They actually have become numb to the relentless MSM assault on him and his supporters.

You idiots have been crying wolf since the day after the election, so most people who disagree with you have tuned you out, and most of the people who do agree with you have become tired of the constant rhetoric and just can't keep up the repeating 2 minute hates scheduled by the MSM.

You can justify ANYTHING in that manner.

Think about what that means.

Trump lies faster than we can fact check

By the time we have provided the correct information, Trump has already told two more lies

And the second we hear about one scandal, two more pop up.

The average person just doesn't have time to absorb the lies and scandals so they just say - Fuck it - I'm doing okay.

This has been discussed endlessly - Yes, all politicians lie, but Trump beat the whoppers Obama told over a period of 8 years in his FIRST.

False equivalency, but yes .. I hate his lies and his policies.

 

[whitehall]

Hillary's husband molested a female page in the freaking Oval Office and Hillary faced the cameras and said it was a "right wing conspiracy" when she must have known about the DNA on Monica's dress. Pervert Bill started a dialog about the "difference" between sodomy and sexual intercourse and was impeached and lost his law license. Meanwhile propaganda agents of the democrat party such as Media Matters nit pick every single word uttered by the President and pretend that jokes and exaggerations are lies. Meanwhile angry incoherent lefties eat it up like pablum.

When Kellyanne revealed the "alternative facts" initiative....that should have been a wakeup call for everyone.

So, he broke the mystical lie threshold. Got it.

That or Sarah Sanders should say "yeeeeah .. THAT's what it is" after each of her statements.
