Sure he will, now we have this Obamagate bullishit and there will more to come too?!!
Everyone who covers President Donald Trump with even the slighted bit of integrity will tell you he’s prone to lie and distort the facts with little compunction. But the media is still struggling to cope with this fact.
And as we head into the crucial stretch of the 2020 campaign, reporters and the voting public need to prepare themselves. Because the fact is, not only does Trump lie prolifically — but he is clearly prepared to say literally anything if it thinks it will help him get re-elected.
This may sound like an exaggeration, but it’s hard to think of any other limiting principle to his dishonesty and manipulation. Being willing to say anything, of course, doesn’t mean he will say anything, because many lies wouldn’t help him be re-elected. If he tried, for instance, to tell the American people that Hillary Clinton had been locked up, or that everyone will get a million dollars if he’s re-elected, these lies wouldn’t help. Everyone could see that Clinton isn’t in jail, and even his hardcore supporters aren’t gullible enough to believe we could all get a million dollars.
