Tapping into Trump's dishonesty
How many different pejorative names have people come up with for Donald J. Trump? Lots.
Herr Drumpf
Agent Orange
Prima Donald
The Angry Cheetoh
The Cheetoh in Chief
Cinnamon Hitler
Twitler
Short-fingered Vulgarian
There are many, many more, all amusing to some degree. But the best (IMHO) is the one that is actually derivative of what he called Hillary Clinton. He referred to her constantly as "Crooked Hillary."
Making it highly appropriate to call him Dishonest Donald and his latest deed of dishonesty was in the news today. Remember these tweets from the Liar-in-Chief?
"How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!"
"I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!"
"Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!"
"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"
Well, now his White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is trying to walk back this specious allegation by saying...well, listen for yourself:
Spicer said "..the President used the word wiretapping in quotes..."
Not entirely true. He did use quotation marks in two of those four tweets. But his meaning is obvious to even the most casual of observers (borrowing that phrase from one of my favorite people from my military service, CMSgt Zachary W. Taylor). He wasn't talking about surveillance in broad terms. He made a specific allegation that is now being walked back because there is no evidence that wire tapping took place.
How ridiculous can it get?
The originator of the phrase "alternative facts" continues to deal in them, even after they have been exposed as outright lies. Then again, we are talking about how 45 should be referred to as Dishonest Donald.
I actually considered establishing a website to track Dishonest Donald's lies but realized there was simply no way I could keep up with the constant falsehood feed emanating from the Oval Office; without a large paid staff.
To use one of his pejorative labels that often end his tweets, "disgusting."
