This administration started out by trying to bully the press into accepting a fake reality (first Trump and Spicer press conferences, tweets etc), then sent out the misinformation lady (Conway).
I guess it turned out the people who knew the truth couldn't abide the lying.
For myself, I think integrity is a useful thing in a president. Or at least, a president shouldn't lie pathologically. These good old boys have been caught doing so repeatedly in the first month of the administration. I dunno. Maybe "tell the truth sometimes" would be a serviceable motto for this lot. More lying related scandals in one month than in the entire Obama administration (Fox lies don't count).
Sounds like Trump depends upon lies for whatever he does. I suspect he doesn't know how to do things using truth as his foundation. A lifetime of bullying and cheating has served him well.
But now he is up against something new. He's stuck with heavy scrutiny. And because he lies all the time, and manipulates all the time, few trust a thing he says.
