In reply to the discussion: Trump melts down on Twitter after Hamilton cast spoke about Pence [View all]robbob
(3,750 posts)61. Bald face lying is now part of the presidential repertoire.
Remember that older gentleman Trump supporter at the Obama rally? Obama calmed the crowd down and then spoke eloquently about respecting one another and having more tolerance? I think the very next day tRump was haranguing his mob about Obama "harassing and intimidating" the tRump supporter, the complete opposite of what actually happened.
This is the new normal; a president who can't be trusted to say "hello" without lying. And the press will report his lies without comment or clarification. And the drooling masses will eat it up.

Milquetoast was lucky to get to see it. Once FADA is passed they don't even have to let him in.
