That cliche sounds all well and good but the truth is how many people saw the inauguration or didn't is not a lie equal to being sold a hugely expensive government boondoggle like the ACA with knowingly false statements.
This is because the latter lie affected the entire country, the former while yes a lie too i'm beginning to believe is just the presidents way of keeping the opposition fixated on something. Notice how this tripe dominates the discussion but what barely gets mentioned are the real important things he did today, like reopen stalled oil pipelines, meeting with us car execs, muzzling the EPA and raft of other far reaching actions, all crowded out by an stupid argument over nothing. He's playing the media like a fiddle at an Ozark Ho down. |
So, essentially, you are totally for another lying, duplicitous, arrogant, petty politician sitting in the Oval Office? Way to drain that Swamp! This will surely end government corruption and malfeasance...
By the way, is there any ethical problem you see with Trump approving the pipeline given the CEO of the DAPL donated very large sums of money to Trump's election coffers and to the GOP's various groups and PACs?
Top executive behind Dakota Access has donated more than $100,000 to Trump:

Trump Just Green-Lighted Controversial Pipeline Whose CEO Donated Millions to GOP Super PACs:

Or is there any problem with the fact Trump still has not provided any proof he has, in fact, actually divested himself from pipeline-related holdings? Or should we just rely on Trump's well-documented honesty and integrity?

Mr. Trump is not required to file another disclosure form until later this year. So far, he has not provided documentation of the divestment.
