As a child, you were taught not to lie or believe someone who is lying? Growing up, you learned to trust someone who doesnt lie and beware of those who lie every chance they get!
I must admit that I am guilty of lying at times throughout my lifetime, but I also know that I am hurting myself and may harm others. Lying just doesnt affect you, it affects everyone around you.
Because lying is harmful! We all can see what a problem it can cause. People can get hurt or killed by lying.
We have seen what happens when an egotistical, narcissistic liar causes when he is lying about everything. He can manipulate people, he can control power over people and he can also cause chaos.
Chaos caused by lying is about as dangerous and destructive as anything else. The more lies that are spread? The more corrupt the lies and chaos become!
What reason and why does one lie about everything? It seems he doesnt care! Yet, he gains the benefit for himself and by making up things as he goes along is the only thing he knows. A lifetime of lies, conspiracy and cover ups is how he feels strong enough to keep on lying.
He lies to get people to believe in him and it gives him self gratification and confidence to keep lying. Without any proof of his lie, he carries on all the way to the White House. Then the power his is and he becomes a master liar. He helps himself to the highest level of power and he get away with everything by getting others to cover up the lies with more lies.
Operational lies is now rampant. You never know whats coming next. In the meantime, people are getting more desperate to believe the lies and hope to hang on to the power from his lies.
Even when people corner him in for lying? He just lies even more. It makes this things very difficult and unsettling to say the least.
His lies will continue to affect every single person long after he is gone. In fact, others have learned the trait of lying and how to make it work.
There lies the problem! When will the lying stop? Im afraid that it may not. Political correctness and leadership is only a lie and we all know that this country is fully corrupt because of lies.
The truth and trust is a forgotten and far gone conclusion.
I believe there are good people who will change this, but at the same time? Can we believe everything they say? One man has put so much effort into lying! The doubt is there to trust anyone ever again.

I grew up with a narcissistic mother. She lied about everything. She was cruel, and great at projection. My father believed everything she said. My late brother often said, "She IS Trump!" I had to get away from her to learn to trust people. I had to learn for myself, as a child and young adult, that lying was not worth it. I had to make a conscious effort NOT to be like her. I went through years of counseling. So did my brother.
I think it is possible to change this. It will not be easy for people to trust our government again. Other countries may take decades to trust us. We will also have to learn to trust ourselves. My brother and I had to learn that repeatedly.

And to this day she lies about it and doesnt even take any responsibility for it. Luckily my niece took over the payments after she found out about what her mother did. Yes, my sister is a True Trump fan!

(6,967 posts)For example, when you intentionally lie about another person to disparage them. I get why people lie to protect their own self and public image. It is not a good thing, but to lie to drag down another person's good name and reputation is truly evil. Trump has done so with many people, and fairly recently with Jack Smith, who Trump has called deranged and other derogatory things.
Trump's lies about immigrants to the US is another example of very harmful lies to cast all immigrants (ok- all those who aren't white) as thuggish, corrupt, etc.
