An epic liar whose followers believe half and laugh at the other half

Eugene Robinson: Trump's lies threaten our democracy

President Trump's constant, relentless, remorseless lying is a central feature of his presidency, an unprecedented threat to our democracy and — in my view — an impeachable offense.

. . . .

When Trump insists on his own invented "facts," he makes reality-based political dialogue impossible. 

His utter disregard for truth is a subversion of our democracy and a dereliction of his duty as president. 

The Founders considered themselves men of honor whose word was their bond. 

They left us the vague, encompassing phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" for just such an emergency.
