The thing about Trump is he lied virtually everyday of his time in office, stuff he came out with has been fact checked ad nauseum and backs the lies up but where do you start about it all. He’s continued to lie after he lost the election, this includes him saying the election was stolen which has never been backed up in a courtroom because no serious evidence has been provided ( over 60 claims kicked out of court through no evidence) then there is the January 6th riot where he continues to say people who attacked the Capitol are innocent of anything, the guy is a complete fruit cake yet lying became the norm and is acceptable to a lot of his fanbase. It’s serious shit this because it appears to be justifiably ok to lie and be dishonest when you are a rich powerful figure with ambition to run a country, in this case a very powerful country. We know certain areas of politics are open to corruption but to see it blatantly flaunted in public and deemed ok by a lot of people just saddens me about standards, honesty, integrity and all the things we were told as kids had to be upheld to prevent anarchy and discord. I believe America could be on its way down the shit pan because massive civil unrest and violence is usually the next step when countries start losing their moral compass. The fact we have had five PM’s in seven years, all of the same political party is very worrying to me, even the current one is not proving universally popular. This country is really struggling and there is massive unrest, things could turn nasty here if we aren’t very careful.
