Washington is enthralled with lying. Deception is breaking news.
The media and political establishment are fascinated by lies, as if they
had never encountered them. Lies are a discovery in Washington, much like an alien life form, information that looks and sounds like the truth but never before seen by man.
The establishment’s shock is understandable. These new lies are different from the ones with which Washington is familiar, the lies they have spent decades practicing. They have jolted Washington with their crudity. They are evident and unembarrassed. These deceits have been marched, bare of pretense, raw and muscular, to parade in the public sun, without apology or shame.
These lies are being told by the President of the United States, the outsider who threatens the establishment’s culture of deception. Trump’s lies are unforgivable, Washington tells us: His lies might expose theirs.
Donald Trump, the media reports, has told 4,229 lies in 558 days. It is a record, the media intends to say, as if Trump had broken their mark, reaching a milestone worthy of envy. Unfortunately for the President, his record hasn’t held up. In scope and scale, if not volume, Washington’s old standards of fabrication may still be safe.
