Let me explain how to handle the Trump-administration, via an old joke:

There was this ship. The Captain and the officers were taking shifts commanding the vessel. One of the officers had the habit of drinking too much. It wasn't enough to get him reprimanded, but the Captain really disapproved of it.

So, during his shifts, the Captain noted so in the log-book: "Officer Jenkins drunk today.", "Officer Jenkins again drunk today.", "Officer Jenkins again drunk today." ... andsoforth.

One day, Jenkins had enough of this patronizing and during his shift he wrote in the log-book: "The Captain is sober today."

What am I trying to tell you? It's no longer headlines when Trump lies. It's no longer breaking news when Donald Trump lies.

It's headlines and breaking news when he tells the truth, and these instances should be celebrated and heralded appropriately.
