Trump and some of his supporters toss around the words "lie/liar/lied" like Al Sharpton tosses around the word "racist".
Well, Trump seems to be playing the ass... more particularly, Balaam’s ass. He’s there kicking at any untruth he thinks he sees, to the point of being quixotic.
There’s something endearing about his intent, even if not about his aim, which isn’t always accurate. You can always count on truth. It will make you free (even if it makes you miserable first).
