mr peters muses on how to deal with a habitually lying president; 

 

Well, the “almost done deal” apparently isn’t. Is anyone surprised? By now, everything that Trump says is generally taken by most sane people as either a lie or evidence of early-onset dementia (maybe tertiary syphilis). For instance, his statement the other day that gasoline is “low” and “not very high.” He even had the audacity to claim that gasoline prices had “hit $1.98” per gallon in some states.

It leaves one momentarily speechless, doesn’t it?

The problem – for Trump – is that after awhile, this sort of lying results in general dismissiveness of everything the liar says. It is doubtful the Iranians believe anything Trump says. Put another way, they surely assume everything he says is a lie. Negotiations with a person regarded by the other party to be a serial liar are as pointless as trying to put air in a leaky tire. Maybe it’ll hold for a little while. But everyone understands the tire has got to be fixed – or replaced.

How does this get fixed?............more............
