Pants On Fire


Ahhh - The good ol' days. I'm old enough to remember first hand when Tricky Dick Nixon was forced out of the oval office for lying. Nowadays it seems to be the new norm. I mean the candidate who can tell the biggest whopper is the one who gets elected.

Take for instance our new president-elect who with his narcissism, megalomania and god complex, simply cannot help himself from taking credit where credit certainly is NOT due. Donnie tweeted that he was responsible for Ford Motor Company keeping one of its plants operating in Kentucky instead of moving it to Mexico. All well and good except that it was a big fat lie. When Ford was contacted for confirmation, they denied ever intending to move the Kentucky plant.

Pretty insignificant isn't it. My point being is this. How can someone who takes the time out from what must be a tremendously busy schedule to lie about something so small be trusted? How can American citizens ever believe anything he says? Especially when it comes to the big stuff and especially when it's not going his way.

The answer is simple - we can't....and that's a really scary thing. Till next time - R
