The current president of the United States lies just about every day on his Twitter feed. Many Americans have just come to accept this as part of the social contract we enter into with our politicians. Of course, if the politician in question is not one you voted for or currently support, it’s an egregious ethical breach and sin against the American people. But if he or she is on your side, you just consider it the trade-off we make for achieving certain policy goals (or preventing certain policy goals from the other side).
