President Donald Trump's repeated lack of "respect for the truth" puts him in jeopardy of being viewed as "a fake President," The Wall Street Journal editorial board says. "Two months into his presidency, Gallup has Mr. Trump's approval rating at 39%. No doubt Mr. Trump considers that fake news, but if he doesn't show more respect for the truth, most Americans may conclude he's a fake President," reads the editorial, which appeared online Tuesday night. It includes one of the more vivid sentences I've read in a while: Yet the President clings to his [wiretapping] assertion like a drunk to an empty gin bottle, rolling out his press spokesman to make more dubious claims. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/politics/donald-trump-wsj-trust/index.html CNN links to the WSJ, but that requires a subscription to read.
