When Robert Mercer instructed Donald Trump to hire Kellyanne Conway as his “campaign manager,” a new era in the despicable world of politics began. Her true purpose was to become Trump’s ‘spin doctor,’ or ‘liar-in-chief.’ As Trump lied to the American people dozens of times each day, it was her responsibility to offer a more egregious lie and make Trump appear somewhat normal.
As the networks began to find her tiresome, and denounced her fallacious repertoire, she was removed from the public eye. Enter Sean Spicer.
As Trump’s press secretary, it is Spicer’s job to explain the outrageous actions and claims of his boss. The first thing we have learned is that he lacks the ability to lie possessed by Conway. He makes a fool of himself and Trump on a daily basis. When Trump denies the facts, visible for everyone to see and totally undeniable, Spicer has orders to support him. So sad.
Trump’s claim that there were three million illegal votes cast in an attempt to distract the American people from the fact that Hillary destroyed him in the popular vote was pitiful. Even more pitiful was his claim that he had a record-breaking turnout for his inauguration. From every angle pictures prove that his supporters attended in very small numbers. From day one he was the most unpopular president in American history.
But we must not take away Spicer’s own inadequacies. When Trump himself said that he would ‘ban Muslims’ from entering the United States, Spicer told the White House press corps that he never used the world ‘ban.’ When he claimed that President Obama tapped the phones of a FOX Noise reporter, he made an even bigger a** of himself.
I fail to understand why any member of the legitimate press would attend his fake news briefings. He refuses to answer the tough questions, and anything he says lacks an iota of truth.
Unfortunately, many of the American people are accepting the thousands of lies from Trump and his circle of sinners as ‘normal.’
Comparing our last president with this illegitimate president, one fact stands out above all others. President Obama was the most ethical President in modern times; not a single scandal can be attached to his eight years serving the American people. Trump is the exact opposite. He has committed dozens of ethics violations in less than two months in office. He is immoral and unfit to assume the title of ‘president.’
