A “Morning Joe” panel examined President Donald Trump’s lie-filled rally in Iowa, where his supporters cheered each falsehood and jeered when he attacked the media.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham compared the display to former President Richard Nixon’s lies during the Watergate scandal, but he said Trump’s rally was even more like something seen in a totalitarian regime like Nazi Germany or fascist Italy.
“Even now, in regimes like North Korea, where the dear leader speaks and we’re all supposed to salute, that what the dear leader says has to be followed, whether it’s associated with reality or not, whether it’s grounded in reality or not,” Meacham said.
The segment opened with a video montage of Trump’s falsehoods, which the panel fact-checked against previous reporting, and Meacham said the president’s lies undermined some of America’s founding principles.
I really don't watch Morning Joe anymore so I missed this when it was first broadcast.
However after I watched the video I was shocked, and knew I had to share it here.
I mean we all know that Trump lies like some people take a breath, but this is amazing even by those standards.
It is like he is allergic to the truth and his followers seem to think the only truth tumble from his tangerine tinted maw.
Every day I wake up saying I will not be shocked by what Donald Trump does, and every day I am wrong.
