The media has finally caught on to the fact that Trump & Co. lies constantly, about everything, big or small; and now everything they say is reported with an eye-roll and a sigh. And that's great.

If we can't trust them to tell the truth about trivialities, we can't trust them to tell the truth about important things, either. But do they care? I suppose they probably haven't thought it through. They should.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_7ldlL146CEs\"><div id=\"lyte_7ldlL146CEs\" data-src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7ldlL146CEs\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7ldlL146CEs\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7ldlL146CEs\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video thumbnail\" width=\"640\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I gotta say...
