Senior adviser says "it all came crashing down" because Trump "could never tell the truth"

From CNN's Jim Acosta

A senior Trump adviser offered a stinging assessment of the President's second impeachment by saying Trump has destroyed everything he built politically because he could never tell the truth.

"In the end, it all came crashing down because he could never tell the truth," the adviser said. "All because he couldn't accept he lost," the adviser added.

"This will be the story you tell your kids when you lecture them about telling the truth," the adviser continued.

1. As a senior Trump advisor, what part of "Donald Trump" did you not understand?

This wasn't some sudden change in personality. This is what you signed up for.

I'd add "unless you had your head up your ass" to that, but colono-cranial conjunction is actually a prerequisite for working for Trump.

If only someone had spoken up earlier and suggested the Donald Trump and the truth don't walk hand-in-hand. Or spent five years screaming it in your insipid face. Tell you kids about that, fuckhead. And don't even get me started on what Trump "built politically." Kids in cages? 400,000 pandemic dead? What did he build?

Trump was a goddamn truth-telling saint prior to the election but the diarrhea of lies he spewed after Joe kicked his ass is why Trump is now swirling the toilet??

13. I'm starting to think all that stuff that's due in "2 weeks" like the healthcare plan ain't coming.

For Infrastructure Week after Infrastructure Week, I was told a plan was two weeks away. I was worried that with only one week left, none of the "2 week" plans would ever come until Trump announced he is building a time machine, should be finished in 2 weeks.

For those who need it (sarcasm).
