I know it is a terrible thing to not be able to believe our leaders.
But, I have seen and heard too many lies and obfuscations from Donald Trump and his supporters. I am unable to believe anything they say anymore. I am 100% jaded.
Through my many years, I have learned that when people cannot speak in a clear and cogent manner, they are usually trying to conceal information or to deceive their listeners. Distorting and confusing the facts are the traits of a liar and liars should never be trusted.
Never.

I think it's disturbing to not have any idea which news you can believe. We pretty much have to fact check everything anymore.

Even their account of the bombing of Syrian airfield is a lie, in my opinion.

(25,816 posts)Whatever caused those people to die was certainly horrible. Was it sarin?
Was it chlorine? Another poster pointed out that the rescuers were using
bare hands to wash the victims. If it was sarin, wouldn't that kill them too?
I tend to believe that the entire incident was set up, at the expense of many
citizens (in a rebel held area), to mask the Trump/Russia ties.
Did the Syrian air force bomb the town? I think that is proven. Did they hit
a rebel storage of chlorine? Maybe. I too don't believe anything they say.

(28,866 posts).. it's contagious.
I now have to fact check or wait patiently to find out if
certain more leftwing or liberal articles are fair and
accurate as well.
I got stung a few times already.

(4,341 posts)you should always doubt your leaders, that will force you to get the facts and then decide you can or cannot believe your leaders. With Trump it is a little bit easier because you know he is lying all the time.
