Hillary Clinton is a “world class liar,” according to Donald Trump. It takes one to know one. The accusation comes from the man who has lied for years about the birthplace of Barack Obama, who refuses to divulge his income tax, who has no record of policy positions because he’s never held elective office.
In his years of continual “birther” lying, Trump has repeatedly made statements like, “My researchers can’t believe what they’re uncovering.”
What, exactly, did they uncover? Nothing. Not a shred of evidence to support the flagrant lie.
While living a secret life of deceit and debauchery, Trump accuses others of lying and deception.
Yet, with ample media assistance, Trump’s lies are repeated often enough that millions of people still believe President Obama was not born in the United States. Now, this super snake oil salesman will shift to assaulting Hillary Clinton.
He’s good at it, so it will be fascinating to see how far his future accusations carry him. Since Hillary’s policies will be an easier target because he can so deftly mix fact with fiction, it will be equally fascinating to see how many prospective voters blindly accept his tsunami of accusations.
