SEN. WHITEHOUSE:

SO HERE'S WHERE I THINK WE ARE. I THINK THERE IS A BIT OF A PLOT
AFOOT HERE.

STEP ONE IS TO LIE ABOUT NOT INTENDING TO DAMAGE SOCIAL
SECURITY AND TO PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

THE PRESIDENT IS A PROFLIGATE LIAR: "RUSSIA DIDN'T INVADE
UKRAINE, THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED
AND STOLEN FROM ME, I'M NOT A
CRIMINAL, DOJ WAS WEAPONIZED,
CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX."

HE JUST CAN'T STOP ALL LIES.
I'M NOT GOING TO ATTACK SOCIAL
SECURITY, IS A LIE.

SO THAT IS STEP ONE, WHAT ABOUT
IT.

STEP TWO IS DISCREDIT SOCIAL
SECURITY.

TRUMP AND MUSK HAVE BEEN LYING
LOUDLY ABOUT IMAGINARY SOCIAL
SECURITY FRAUD WHICH SEEMS TO ME TO
BE AN EFFORT TO LOWER PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE IN THE PROGRAM.

THEY FALSELY CALLED IT A PONZI
SCHEME.
IF THOSE THINGS AREN'T TRUE, WHY
ARE THEY SAYING THEM?

WHAT IS THE MOTIVE?
I THINK THE MOTIVE IS TO
DISCREDIT THE SYSTEM.

Donald Trump is a Liar.

A bad, bad person.

So, I think, the people who support him must be.

Else they could easily find someone better.

Senator: "The President is a Profligate Liar"

And that's one of his better traits.

Yes... and I did want to apologize to Trumpers here for the thread title using a multisyllabic word.

Just so they can follow along:

profligate
/prfl''t/
adjective

recklessly extravagant or wasteful in the use of resources.
"profligate consumers of energy"
