Not to this extent, by far. All this administration does is lie.His followers do not care how much he lies. They are sheep.In the midst of the depressing carnage of our war on Iraq in 2003, the only person who offered a bit of levity was the "beloved Baghdad Bob," whose statements on the Iraqi forces "victories" defied reality and offered what today Kelly Ann Conway calls "alternative facts."
Trump's very thin skin prompted him to send out his "press" secretary, Spicer to openly lie to the public. That was a piss-poor decision.....and Conway should have refused to contribute to Trump's egocentric needs if she wants to maintain any semblance of credibility.
But, as a public sevice to this new administration, some quotes from Orwell's 1984 may offer Trump, Spicer and Conway some tips on how to move forward:
“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
"But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”
“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
“Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think."
“War is peace. .....Freedom is slavery........Ignorance is strength.”
(That last one REALLY defines most right wingers.)His followers do not care how much he lies. They are sheep.
Said about Obama, Bush, CLinton, Bush, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, etc etc
