K. Conways's "alternative facts" is lying.
Stephen Miller's White Nationalist leanings includes lying.
All Trump Press Secretarys lie for Trump.
Trump is lies to the level of a pathology.
"Trump [LITERALLY] says it does not matter whether he lies to us"
"Trump says ‘it doesn’t really matter’ if Iranian general posed an imminent threat"
Perhaps Tweety has a "philosophy" for his lies, a strategy to gain power and wealth while President? I link an article on this "philosophy" below.

"There’s a Philosophy Behind Trump’s Lies"
The president’s falsehoods are dizzying in number, but they follow a predictable, time-honored tradition of how totalitarians rule.

I suppose Tweety wants to be the "Dear Leader, King, the USA Monarch, but how is this a "philosophy?'
In my opinion Tweety's "philosophy" is the same any shyster uses to steal my money, lie, promise anything & everything, use any trick needed, so Trump can grow his power and bank account.
"The most blatant attack on facts comes in the form of the unabashed lying of President Donald Trump, who obfuscates and changes his many stories with impressive regularity. By this October, after almost 1,000 days in office, according to The Washington Post’s Fact Checker’s database, he had made 13,435 false or misleading claims. He had lied about immigration, the stock market, the impact his sanctions and tariffs were having on the American economy, US troop withdrawals from the Middle East, the size of his crowds, and even the weather, which, of course, is just the beginning of a far longer list. "
OK, we know Tweety Trump lies, but what is his "philosophy?" It turns out the writer was simply listing what it takes to be a dictator, primarily by manipulating words, where I suggest one is the word "traitor." Trump's "philosophy" is more a strategy to dominate our government like a dictator, a strategy used by George Goebbels for Nazi Germany.
TWEETY'S "TRUTHFUL HYPERBOLE - it's from this: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” DR. JOSEPH GOEBBELS
I agree with the Rolling Stone writer saying Trump and the GOP are more treacherous than the people they call "traitors." The word "traitor" is a catch-all term for the GOP which means anyone who questions Trump for anything, questions their "Dear Leader," questions the man the hope will be their "King."
Defending the things Tweety does is indefensible. I will not sell my soul for a pocket full of money. Pieces of silver for my soul? No thanks.
Truthful hyperbole used by Tweety "Fat Bastard" Trump is lying for a "good" reason. Truthful hyperbole lies were OK on his TV show where he made ridiculous, dumb decisions, with no logical reasoning. Lying for a "good" reason, always for HIS benefit by the way, as a private citizen, including cheating his investors, business partners, stealing from many good charities, even robbing his employees, all that was OK.
NONE of this bad behavior and none of the "truthful hyperbole" is OK for a United States PRESIDENT!
#KeepingMySoul!
President Trump lies pathologically for NO REASON, to distract Americans, thinks we are easy fools!
"The Traitors Among Us"
Donald Trump likes to call his opponents traitors — but if he’s looking for treasonous behavior, he should look within his own party
By Rick Wilson Rick Wilson Dec 2019
" . . . For Donald Trump, any opposition, either personal, ideological, or political is treason. Anyone who stands in his path betrays the Great Leader. Anyone who fails to take the knee is a traitor.
Like hearing an insult too many times drains it of its potency, Trump has diluted the power of that approbation. He has labeled loyal, dedicated Americans who served this country in the military and law enforcement as traitors, so much so that we could almost give in to the temptation to excuse it as “Trump being Trump” and let it slide like any of the other insults he vomits forth on the daily.
We know in our heart who the true "traitors are, as they defend the indefensible with idiotic contortions of logic no reason.
We will see which among the Senators are "traitors" soon. The Senators took an Oath with hand up, yesterday, 16 Jan 2020, and signed the book testifying to their Oath to execute a proper trial. Which Senators will show disdain for America, their Oath, the Constitution, and our Democracy? Which Senators will white washing the trial, avoiding witnesses, and declaring Trump innocent without a judicious look at ALL the evidence?
Will Moscow Mitch be the first to betray our Democracy, or Lindsay Graham who has said he will not look at the evidence?
"The traitors talk a good game, hands over their withered hearts, about supporting the Constitution, but they’re happy to ignore it when it suits their purposes.
The traitors believe the executive branch is superior to all others and unaccountable under the law. Traitors believe the “fuck you, pay me” ethos of this president and this White House isn’t an open door to a pay-to-play political culture in Washington where everyone and everything in our government is for sale.
They defend the White House’s indefensible position of stonewalling, silencing witnesses, and refusing to testify before Congress.
Traitors keep racial arsonists like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon in their orbit and employment. They pretend these men are selling populism and nationalism when in fact it’s just the same weaponized racism that worked so well for them in 2016.
The traitors will sit in Congressional hearings on impeachment knowing the truth about Trump’s extortion racket and of the grubby, sleazy plan Trump sent Gordon Sondland, Rudy Giuliani, et al to carry out, and tell lie after lie, the bigger the better.
The traitors cheer when Trump rides roughshod over the military chain of command and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, freeing men who killed civilians, abused and violated the warrior ethos, and broke the very laws of war they swore to uphold. They’ve gone from respecting hard men carrying out tough missions to fetishizing the outliers, edge cases, and the war criminals.

"“It doesn’t really matter because of his horrible past,” Trump wrote. The administration has held Soleimani, as head of Iran’s Quds Force, responsible for orchestrating Iran’s use of proxy forces in terrorist attacks throughout the Middle East, and the deaths of hundreds of U.S. soldiers over the years, long before the threat it has said justified the Jan. 3 U.S. drone strike that killed him.
In a separate tweet, Trump emphasized Soleimani’s past actions rather than the threat of future attacks."

I am going to use a Washington Post article or two, but DO NOT TELL ME THE WAPO IS BIASED WHEN THEY FACTUALLY REPORT TWEETY TRUMP IS LYING BECASUE TRUMP TOLD AMERICA HE WAS LYING ABOUT THE DRONE ASSASSINATION!
He is some people's OJ, a murderer, a criminal, he got off . . . Tweety is nothing to me.
Lying has always mattered to Americans who have a sense of integrity and honesty, Americans claim to be good people, but the Americans that accept Trump's lies have lost what it means to be American.
Lies that lead to a Ukraine passenger flight shoot down is not harmless, not justified. The "mistake" was Tweety Trump's and Pompeo's as the told us the drone kill / assassination was not really due to any reason other than they thought it would be a good thing to do on their own judgement.
This headline is in the "Opinion" section, but the notion Trump is a pathological liar is real and a fact.
Lies matter as life matters to death matters!
LIES MATTER AS LIFE MATTERS TO DEATH!
Trump assassinated the general, PERIOD.
