Do you remember this little rhyme when you were a child? I do. Having listened to Donald Trump’s speeches and having read his tweets over the last three years, one cannot believe that it doesn’t apply to the current President of the United States? I don’t need to go into outlining each and every account since most major American news media has clearly recorded the hundreds of outright lies. Now, the President’s staff do try to downplay Trump’s lies and inaccuracies but to no avail. They suggest that the President was misquoted or misunderstood. Indeed, no one has ever apologized for his “gross misstatements” or downright “lies”. Interestingly, the Democrats are focusing on Trump’s character as they argue in the impeachment trial for his removal from office.
Trump has come up with every excuse under the book. He frequently claims that he doesn’t know people who he has had business with or have had their pictures taken on several occasions with him. His number one co-liar is of course Rudi Giuliani who claims to be Trump’s personal lawyer. Indeed, the impeachment trial has shown just how Giuliani is the President’s personal henchman. The problem is that Giuliani has a tendency to open his mouth before first thinking about what he is saying. Even Fox News has questioned why Giuliani was working in Ukraine as the president’s attorney, instead as a government official or an appointed presidential envoy with an official title. The impeachment proceedings have made it very clear that the President was initially withholding military aid to the Ukraine as a club to get the Ukraine authorities to launch a fraud investigation into past dealings by Joe Biden and his son with the Ukraine. Of course, despite all the evidence, Trump denies the allegations, seconded by Giuliani who proclaims that the President did no wrong. Instead, Giuliani is on record as proclaiming that “Joe Biden is a crook and he sold out the United States of America — in Iraq, in Ukraine, in China” without ever offering a thread of proof.
Meanwhile, despite being on trial, the President is calling the shots for the Republican Senators in the impeachment trial. The President’s defense has yet to offer any new evidence or witnesses to counter the charges that were brought forward. All you get are “conspiracy” theories and deny, deny and deny some more. After all, Trump did nothing wrong as the President has publicly declared a hundred times before. Can one really believe him? Unfortunately, with a Republican controlled Senate, there isn’t any chance that the President will be impeached. Too bad!
