i wish everyone knew. not everyone does, and it's not just his followers. there are some people who do not realize that it matters where they get their news, and that a little bit of information can be misleading if there is more information to be had. those people are the ones who say they don't especially like trump but all that horrible stuff about him, THAT can't all be true....

of course it doesn't surprise me. however, it may surprise someone who hasn't heard it, and thinks either that trump doesn't lie, or that he doesn't lie as much as he does, or that it doesn't matter if he lies. sharing information is not always a matter of surprising people. information is power. knowing he lies is a given for anyone but his base, as you correctly note. however, saying he lies is one thing and giving the details is another. that part IS news, and i feel it had to be shared. it is only with the details that we will catch him out and throw him out.

i am sure your son will understand some day if by chance he doesn't understand yet. he's got you to explain it! (trump had... ick, he had a racist criminal. he was probably taught that lying was not only okay but necessary.)

@genessa Trump has lied since his first day. His father taught him. He was raised believing he is superior to everyone else, also taught to him by his father. A spotted leopard can't change its spots.

@AstralSmoke no one is expecting him to change his spots. his followers don't want him to, and we know to much to expect it. all we can do is try to get that leopard caged. and i wouldn't do that to a REAL leopard. in fact now that i think of it... i can't think of anything natural to compare him to, to twist the metaphor slightly. nope. toxic waste, that's all i can think of.
