It will come down to this: "Lies, Lies, and More Lies"

As a society are we willing to accept all these lies from our leaders. That is what it will ultimately come down to.
If Trump and his people lie most the time, is that what we want?..As a society and as a nation?

You can't lie to the FBI, because that is a respected police organization. That is illegal.
But you can lie to your best friend..if you want.

Raising children, Do you want your 3 year old lie to you?
We teach our children not to lie. Is that important?
Does the U.S.A want to be known as a lying country with lying leaders that cannot be trusted?

Lying Sara is a reflection of Lying Trump. All lies. It comes down to this: Do we want to be known for our lies, or the good things that we do? Trump lies so much it seems he doesn't know the difference between truth and a lie. Is that what we want as a society? Is that what we want our children to become?

"It is ok my child, lie whenever you want to and for any reason. It is ok to lie my child. "

Are those two sentences what we really want for our future?..One last idea: I recall reading about one of our past leaders. He was a great man and faced great problems for our nation. One of his characteristics was that he was "honest" In fact, after awhile, this fellow became known as "Honest Abe" Isn't that what we want for our children and our society? Leadership that is honest. To me, that is very important. I know that it is not important to Trump. I surely hope that "honesty" wins over "lying most the time"
