Any explanation for our President to trash all American icons, and to lie and deceive more than the "banana republic" tyrants that take over countries ?

Most of what comes out of his mouth is untrue, but those of us who question the person we require to be truthful are afflicted with a syndrome of some sort or are only worthy of being called a name.

You wonder what principles guide these people and what minimum standards they have and hold up as models to be so supportive of lying and deceit ?
