Lies divide our nation

When a person is a liar, there is little to no foundation for either cooperation or compromise. The claims of a liar are more often than not untrue (nearly always, with our president), unsubstantiated and misleading with the intent to cheat and swindle.

We cannot negotiate or do business with those who are proven frauds; (like our president) they cannot be trusted to uphold an agreement or do the morally right thing when all the liar is interested in is their own benefit at the cost to countless others. The exhortations of those who insist that we give such liars any support in the name of unity are hollow and worthless, as it is a demand that we allow ourselves to be defrauded and harmed.

My answer is no and I will exercise my freedom of association to have as little to do with a liar as possible. I shall also treat the siblings of the liar, the hypocrites, the same. To have unity, there must be transparency and honesty because without it, our divides shall remain and our nation will fail. I consider it the duty of any decent person (which our president is not) to uphold the truth.
