Really C.C.? Do you really think this president merits anybody’s support? Read on:
The Washington Post Fact Checker, that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect utterance by the president, recently reported that he has in his first 406 days in office made 2,436 false or misleading statements. He has undoubtedly thus set a new, untouchable record for presidents. Again, he is ‘winning, winning, winning’! This kind of winning, however, is abnormal. One is prompted to wonder, if the president’s lying is not, perhaps, being driven by some mania – mendacimania? – a craving, obsession or excessive need to lie, or by some phobia – veraciphobia? – a fear of telling the truth, because truth telling has not always served the president well. Whatever the reason, we are stuck with a president, who lies uncontrollably. He is, perhaps, truly suffering from some new, as yet unseen affliction, that we all must now tolerate as a new norm for a president. Lucky for President Trump, he has time to adjust and maybe overcome this malady, because his personal physician surmises that he could possibly live for 200 years. That would be another untouchable Trump record! Judging by the prevalence of lying by other members of his administration, there also exists the scary possibility that Trump’s affliction is contagious! Could colluding or obstructing be the catalyst? R. Amos, Severn MD
