March 23, 2017
The editorial staff of the Wall Street Journal in “A President’s Credibility: Trump’s falsehoods are eroding public trust, at home and abroad,” writes, “The president clings to his assertion like a drunk to an empty gin bottle, rolling out his press spokesman to make more dubious claims.”
They continue: “If he doesn’t show more respect for the truth, most Americans may conclude he’s a fake president.”
