We are seeing a very strange phenomenon at work. People like Bill Clinton, Hillary and Obama have a reputation for lying. They are known to engage in falsehoods, and this is documented.
People who know Trump well and have worked with him, etc., give him very high marks for integrity. He has NOT earned the reputation of a liar. Yet we see many, many instances of people lying about Trump, and also people labelling him a liar sans the usual type of evidence/reputation that warrants such a charge.
It’s difficult to explain the exact dynamic at work. By all appearances, it is simply outright hatred of Trump. I wonder if class envy plays a part?
I think envy and jealously plays a part. That and hate turns into resentment. In many ways it looks like disappointment for McCain and Romney losing being taken out on Trump.
