President Trump defended his rhetoric and proclivity for falsehoods in an interview with ABC News on Thursday.

White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl questioned Trump about his campaign promise to “never lie” to the American public. “Can you tell me now, honestly, have you kept that promise at all times?” Karl asked. “Have you always been truthful?”

In replying, Trump claimed that he does “try” to tell the truth, pointing out that he thinks Karl tries too. “You say things about me that are not necessarily correct,” Trump said. “I do try, and I always want to tell the truth. When I can, I tell the truth.”

“And sometimes it turns out to be where something happens that’s different or there’s a change, but I always like to be truthful,” he added.

I was wondering if anyone ever asked Mr. Trump about his lying. And I found this one above. I didn't watch it, but I posted the main information

But, I want to add this, when Trump leaves the White House, for whatever reason, (if, he makes it to the end of the term, or whatever?) afterwards, his name is shit forever. He or his kids will have to sell the business, because it will not make money. All the places with his name, will be renamed. Actually "shit" will be worth more than the Trump name.

In the end, a quarter, 20 - 25 percent will approve of him. (about Nixon's final number)..Those 25 percent will not keep his businesses going. He may think they will, but they won't. Most of us hate liars. Especially when telling the truth is very important. Trump is so clueless, self centered and stupid, that he doesn't really see the consequences to his family. But even if he did (which he doesn't) he wouldn't give a damn. He never gives a damn about lying.

I also think the people of New York City will shun him and his family if they return.
