Truth Is Whatever Trump Dribbles Out When He Dribbles It
It Took a Year to Admit Donald Jr.’s Infamous ‘Trump Tower Meeting’ Was About Russians Spying
By Terry H. Schwadron, DCReport New York Editor
That Donald Trump could blithely now just blurt out that the notorious meeting in Trump Tower actually was a blown attempt to get dirt on opponent Hillary Clinton seems at once a significant development and a sad reflection about the role of truth.
The president’s weekend tweet, issued to protect his son, Donald Jr., was an admission that should draw yet increased attention from Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is exploring the degree to which Russian meddling in the election was invited, developed and coordinated with the Trump campaign.
Legal niceties aside, the admission should be seen as evidence towards consideration of any charges related to collusion.
And it certainly should underscore the case the special counsel is making to interview President Trump about his actions, statements and oversight of his campaign.

By itself, this is just another tweet, sort of admitting something, sort of continuing to muddy the waters.
As part of the Trump record, however, this tweet is an important sign that Trump has no respect for the American public, for the state of the nation or for the office of the presidency. He cares about himself and his family, and he cannot tell the difference between self-serving remarks and truth. That’s a bad combination.
