I am so sick of the mainstream media reporting Trump’s lies as claims made “without evidence”. Isn’t theirs an obligation to state the truth? Trump’s lies run the gamut from statements made in the face of evidence to the contrary to pure fantasy. It’s not as if the evidence isn’t there to see.

Let us not forget that Bezos said he would no longer fact check what the President said and in fact disbanded his Fact Check organization, led by Glenn Kessler. I guess he didn't like the book the Fact Checker staff wrote in 2020 entitled "Donald Trump and His Assault on Truth, The President's Falsehoods. Misleading Claims and Flat-out Lies." The book documents, and I do mean documents, including evidence for every claim they make, more than 16,000 false statements Trump made in his first term as our fearless leader.

Quite a list. One addition: Get elected promising no new wars, then start one!

Phenomenally wonderful critique!

And clever excellent dark humor!

My face has allowed me a wry smile.

And thanks for pinpointing the media cowardice of not calling a lie as a lie!!!!!

That is such a disservice to our people!

Thanks Mark: Sadly this whole mess is serious but I did get a lift out of the twenty steps to succeed in warfare . Not only the jacket with all the medals,, Trump even stole the family crest he uses.. when he purchased Mar-a-Lego he reshaped the original owners crest and called it the Trump crest. There is nothing this despot won't steal.

Thank you for an excellent article! I’m wondering what you think about Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, as reporters, sitting on the information in the book until

The story about the medals on the jacket was particularly telling. Today we would call it “stolen honor.”

I am also getting tired of the euphemisms for the plain old Anglo-Saxon words like lie, liar, thief, steal, bribe, etc.
