Donald Trump's lies | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Trump is a master of the Big Lie, but that has more to do with his ravings on policy than anything else. That he is qualified to be President is a delusion, both personal and organizational - the key factor being that he has surrounded himself with people whose ethic is to give no bad news to the boss. That does not necessarily mean they are yes men, but it does tend to leave the boss blind to reality. That kind of ethos is the antithesis of democratic governance, which demands that even the inner circle of the President tell the him occassionally where to get off because they put the nation above their boss and their careers. When that does not happen, we get incidents like Watergate and Iran-Contra.
