Trump’s disregard for the truth threatens his ability to govern
........
Veterans of previous White Houses say they can recall no precedent for what Trump and his top aides are doing. They worry about the implications of this untethering from the truth when big decisions must be made about dealing with terrorism or charting the course of the economy.
“The degree to which they are creating their own reality, the degree to which they simply make up their own scripts, is striking,” said Peter Wehner, a Trump critic who was a top strategist in the George W. Bush White House. “It’s a huge deal, because in the end you really can’t govern, and you can’t persuade people, if you do not have a common basis of fact.”
