The record of Donald Trump’s pathological aversion to the truth is well documented (see the Trump Bullshitopedia<\/a><\/strong>). With every day that goes by he introduces a new, self-serving lie. His purpose is generally to vindicate himself from some embarrassing display of ignorance or policy stumble. Either that or to distract from more serious misconduct such as his unsavory connections to Russia, or financial conflicts.<\/p>\n

The media is usually too timid to accurately describe Trump’s falsehoods as lies. Even when the evidence is overwhelming. However, they have been showing some improvement in that area. Friday on CNN’s “Tonight with Don Lemon,”<\/em> guest Fareed Zakaria launched into a righteous condemnation of Trump, complete with an appropriate profanity:<\/p>\n

“I think the president is somewhat indifferent to things that are true or false. He has spent his whole life bullshitting. He has succeeded by bullshitting. He has gotten the presidency by bullshitting. It\u2019s very hard to tell somebody at that point that bullshit doesn\u2019t work, because look at the results, right? But that\u2019s what he does. He sees something, he doesn\u2019t particularly care if it\u2019s true or not, he just puts it out there. And then he puts something else out. And notice again what he did at the press conference. When pushed on it, he doesn\u2019t take responsibility. ‘I wasn\u2019t saying that, I was just quoting somebody else.'”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
