The picture becomes more alarming when we consider that individuals adapt not only to their own dishonesty but also to that of others.
Research Harvard professors Francesca Gino and Max Bazerman shows that people are less likely to criticize the unethical actions of others when such behavior increases gradually over time. Politically speaking, this suggests that voters (and perhaps even the president’s own advisors) may desensitize to the president’s falsehoods in the same way that they do to overused perfume, making them less likely to act to correct this pattern of behavior. The absence of sanctions could in turn be interpreted as a “green light” by the president.
so its basically trump is so unethical that lies dont bother him...it should bother the voters
and dont start with obama lied .....deal with the current president the liar in chief

It should bother everyone.
Take last week for an example:
The Russian Ambassador said that there were agreements between Putin and Trump. While I do not trust the Russian Ambassador, Trump, or Putin; the mention of the agreements is either true or not.
In the future when Trump makes a decisions that could affect Russia positively;
- lessening sanctions
- agreements between the nations
- force reductions in Europe
is he doing it because of these agreements or is he doing it for another reason?
No matter what he says...we know he's a inveterate liar...so we can't trust his stated motives.
