We have a President whose spokespeople have repeatedly been forced to tell the public not to take his words at face value and that we should look for the meaning behind his words instead of paying much attention to the words themselves. Again, that's crazy. I've never been asked to do such a thing in my entire life. That's not how words work. That we're being asked to operate this way to accommodate Trump is beyond bizarre. He's not a neighbor or co-worker, he sits in the most powerful office in the world. He has access to the nuclear codes.
