Stories and Lies

Charles Blow, you've done it again. You write the best editorials in the NYT, because you are so on-point. And what is so great this time? The way you dissect Trump's language-or lack of. You call it degradation of language, saying he has the intellectual depth of a coat of paint. Great metaphor! "In Trump world, facts don't matter, truth doesn't matter, language doesn't matter. Passionate performance is the only ideal. A lie forcefully told and often repeated is better than truth-it is accepted as an act of faith, which is better than a point of fact." Just last week a CBS reporter was thrown out of his office for mentioning Obama and dare I say--how much he accomplished in one hundred days.

So the stories continue. And the lies. But for his supporters, this doesn't really matter.
