Discuss the importance of honesty in a President and provide an example of a President who lied and the consequences of their lie.
Mr. Tijerna:  The American media and the American public always deserve to have a President who is honest with them.....regardless of his/her party.  Presidents can be "wrong".......Bush re: WMDs and Obama re: some features of Obamacare; but that is very, very different from knowingly and intentionally lying.  Bill Clinton famously lied about "never having sex with that woman.".....the media "ate him up" over that lie.  Trump lies so openly and so often that it's almost like he's challenging anyone to call him on his lies.  KellyAnn Conway, memorably, cited his comments as "alternative truths."  Let's face it, Richard, President Trump is an open and blatant liar and it's rather silly to get upset with the media when writers or commentators document his lies.  Please don't blame the "messenger" when the message is DONALD J. TRUMP IS A REPEATED LIAR.   I have repeated asserted that Mr. Trump acts like a sociopath.....and lying to achieve one's ends is such behavior. regards, Gary Crum
