The letter “Lies and conspiracy theories now the norm?” (Aug. 5, TribLive) was terrific. Lies in our politics and government have always been around, but I think this guy, President Trump, has made it it an art form; his lies have poisoned the truth so badly that I fear it may take decades to undo the damage.
I hope and pray that our society — Democrats, Republicans and independents — will get back to decency and truth as it once was, when a pathological liar would be instantly disqualified as a candidate for any office, much less the highest one.
I fear America will not survive as it has become under Trump when “lies have become the norm.” We must get back to truth.
