The World is Too Dangerous and Volatile for a Liar to Wield Power

News Media Must Hold Trump Accountable for His Falsehoods

President Trump's social media announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was met with public skepticism. Half of the nation assumed he lied, and they were correct.
Israel and Iran continued bombing each other as soon as Trump made his announcement.
Trump's lies are commonplace. He misrepresents facts in order to control the news media, which report his false rhetoric verbatim and without question.
Trump has no credibility. This requires that news reporters hold him accountable whenever he distorts facts, especially when he does so in national security matters.
The world is on the brink of WWIII. It is too dangerous and volatile for a liar like Trump --- who has nuclear codes -- to wield unrestrained power.
