It started with Donald Trump. Speaking before the CIA, in front of a wall honoring fallen officers, he lied when he said that it was the media that completely concocted a beef between himself and the CIA. In fact, it was Donald Trump who compared them to Nazi's and put quotation marks around the word "intelligence" when speaking about the intelligence community. Instead of apologizing or even creatively avoiding the awkwardness of his own mistakes in the name of simply looking ahead, Trump lied. Of course, the intelligence employees know that, but the fact that he was willing, in his first full day in office, to stand up on the microphone and lie like that was breathtaking. Either he actually believes his own lies, which would be troubling, or he simply lacks such a moral core that his standing up before the nation and lying to everybody just doesn't bother him. Either way, it's problematic. Any pretense that the gravity of the moment or the importance of the position would humble him in any way has now been thrown out the window. Donald is Donald and Donald is a liar.
