The Art of the Lie
It’s useful to know early in a conversation whether you’re talking to someone living in the Trump delusion. You can usually tell within a minute. The signs are familiar: denial of facts, hostility toward truth, and a strange loyalty to a man who treats democracy like a nuisance.
It’s almost impossible to imagine a rational person still supporting this dictator-in-waiting. Trump has managed to offend and degrade every moral, legal, and human standard this country once held dear. He insults veterans, mocks the disabled, cheats his workers, and uses religion as a marketing tool. If that’s your idea of leadership, then you and I live on different planets.
Ignorance is the virus Trump spreads—infecting reason, compassion, and civic responsibility. He thrives on resentment, manufactures enemies, and sells hate disguised as patriotism. His followers don’t see the manipulation because they’re too busy cheering the man who turned their anger into his business model.
Trump once bragged about writing The Art of the Deal, but history will record a truer title: The Art of the Lie. Every chapter is the same—deceive, distract, deny, and repeat. He turned the presidency into a scam, the truth into an inconvenience, and half the nation into customers for his con.
America can survive corruption, but not willful blindness. It’s time to inoculate ourselves against the Trump virus—with facts, courage, and a little old-fashioned decency.
