The sad reality is that we can't believe anything the president tells us about the most serious issues

The sad reality is that we can’t believe anything the president tells us about the most serious issues facing both the country and the world because he’s a congenital liar.

People, and the media have been so conditioned to accept the words of the president as solid and gospel.
With tRumpf in the seat, it’s not even close. He rambles, boasts, and lies. Invariably, someone has to come behind him and explain what he actually ment. Total shitshow.
