Donald Trump demands the truth
Donald J. Trump doesn't like any criticism leveled at him. He labels it as fake news. He calls it a lie. And now he's demanding that everyone else tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Maybe he's right. After all, that would allow a number of people who are public figures who were defamed by falsehoods.
Former President Barrack Obama could sue Trump for falsely claiming that his birthplace was Kenya and not Hawaii.
Senator Ted Cruz could sue Trump for falsely claiming that Cruz's father was involved in the assassination of JFK.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could sue Trump for falsely claiming that she lied to the FBI.
Author Michael Wolff (Fire and Fury) could sue Trump for falsely claiming he never spoke to the author.
Senator Bob Corker could sue Trump for falsely claiming that Corker "...gave us the Iran deal."

Now we, the people, cannot sue him for the numerous times he has lied to us as a whole. Here is a list of just some of those lies:
"The tax bill is going to cost me a fortune, this thing, believe me."
"This is the biggest tax cut in history."
"We’ve signed more bills -- and I’m talking about through the legislature -- than any president ever."
"Just arrived in Italy for the G7. Trip has been very successful. We made and saved the USA many billions of dollars and millions of jobs."
There are dozens and dozens of additional lies that could be added, but the point is made. This person lies as easily as the rest of us breathe. Maybe that's not fair. After all, I often struggle to breathe while he never struggles to lie.

Lying isn't his only fault. Nor is it his worst fault. But for him to whine about being libeled when he libels and defames so many others is just ridiculous.
Monday was the official holiday celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. What did the #LiarInChief do? He played golf.
The Obamas would spend that day doing volunteer work.
President George W. Bush joined volunteers sending postcards to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
President Bill Clinton spent one MLK holiday helping AmeriCorps volunteers painting and repairing a senior center.
Not only did Trump play golf rather than engaging in the type of service he exhorted others to do, his golf outing was once again omitted from his public schedule. Why? Because it would make it easier to continue to highlight his hypocrisy.
In eight years, President Obama played 333 rounds of golf. But he played on 26 in his first year. We know that Trump played 44 rounds of golf in his 91 visits to his courses thus far in his first year. This after saying over and over again, he would be too busy to play golf anywhere near as much as President Obama did.
Trump may have filed for business bankruptcy four times, but in terms of moral bankruptcy, he resides there personally.
