It's astounding that we've been told for the last 24 years that it doesn't matter if the president lies and all of a sudden these people complain when the president lies.
Go figure.
Trump's relationship with the truth is becoming a national embarrassment
(CNN) Donald Trump's peculiar relationship with the truth -- his penchant for promoting unfounded stories and conspiracies theories -- represents not just a curious quirk or a character flaw. They are a much-practiced technique that has paid dividends as self-promotion in his business career and in his political rise. Over decades spent in the company of yes men and yes women, he has been able to fire off nonsense without question or rebuke.
But now he is President Trump, and his breezy spewing of falsehoods has become a national embarrassment --a threat to U.S. security and America's standing in the world.
White House officials have just had to apologize to the United Kingdom for smearing the British intelligence agency by making false statements . This is a sign of things to come.
Indeed questions about Trump's wiretapping allegations against Barack Obama, and Press Secretary Sean Spicer's regurgitation of Fox News commentary, came up during Trump's press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Friday--further evidence that the rest of the world is paying attention. He took no responsibility and said if there were questions about the allegation, people should ask Fox News about it.
What should concern every citizen is that Trump's crumbling credibility will not be limited to him. America itself is losing credibility. If the president of the United States cannot be taken at his word, America's arguments on the global stage will be easily dismissed. This will have profound and very specific consequences as the country faces new and old challenges, which will require the support of other nations.
That became clear in the latest chapter in the bizarre story of Trump's claim that Obama ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower. The accusation, which would be extraordinarily grave if it contained a shred of truth, has been denied by intelligence officials and discredited by well-informed Democrats and Republicans. And yet, on Thursday, Trump had sent Press Secretary Sean Spicer to do battle with the truth once again.
Presumably following his boss's instructions, Spicer proceeded to repeat yet another unfounded rumor, this one slandering America's top ally, the United Kingdom. He read a claim by Fox News commentator Andrew Napolitano that Obama maneuvered around US agencies by partnering with GCHQ, the secretive British intelligence agency, to spy on Trump.
The British, not surprisingly, were furious. The phones in the White House started ringing immediately after the press briefing. The Trump administration had triggered a wholly unnecessary diplomatic crisis by once again treating the truth with casual contempt.

Great piece. As each day goes by, Trump is slowly unraveling the very fabric of America and it's getting fucking scary as hell.
Lol....... You're 'Triggered'!I believe Pres Trump is a DANGER to our Nation, and needs to be removed from office by Pence and congress, and we should put Pence in as acting President and commit Trump to an insane asylum until he is treated and heeled from his mental disorders and fit, to serve our Nation as our Nation deserves!!!

Hmm please show me a post where someone that isn't a Trump supporter says it is ok for a President to lie. About the only time I can find that people would say it was ok was Bill Clinton lying about his blow job because it was personal business that had nothing to do with his job and he shouldn't have even been asked about it.
That's NOT my opinion on it... I think he should have been kicked out of the White House for lying, but that is where I know people would have said it was ok.
