The Tower

Donald Trump and his flacks just don't get it. When you're a public figure and lie, and then double down on those lies, chances are you will be exposed. This is exponentially true when you're the President.

Take the Trump Tower Moscow lies. They've been lying about this for going on two years and continually "correcting" those lies with new lies.

Recent reporting has revealed the Trump Tower Moscow was an actively planned project right up to election day 2016. But Trump and his people have denied this repeatedly.

They presented the whole thing as nothing more than a rough idea, not even notes on the back of an envelope. Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani told The New Yorker magazine earlier this week (link here): "The proposal was in the earliest stage. No plans were ever made. There were no drafts. Nothing in the file."

It only took a few days to expose this as a whopping lie. Yesterday, Buzzfeed News revealed the existence of hundreds of pages of business documents about Trump Tower Moscow, complete with memos, agreements, emails, text messages, architectural plans, and photographs of architectural models (link here).

Trump and his flacks lie so much, we have to assume everything they say is a lie unless and until proven otherwise.
