You almost got it-

He blatantly lies, and he knows he is lying, and the media knows he is lying, but he knows the media will become willing accomplices in disseminating his lies and will never call him on it.

That gives him the brass balls to say whatever he feels like without fear of reprisal.

And that is pretty dangerous for the most pawerful person on the planet.

You’re correct, I left out the enemedia. He knows they’ll not only not call him on his lies but will find ways to put his slant on it.

You nailed it. He's been lying his whole life and has NEVER been called on it. Very, very dangerous to have somebody like that in a position of power, particularly when his political instincts are all Marxist/totalitarian at heart.
