“Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is a liar and that he should probably dial down the lying.”

CNN

Scaramucci was appearing on CNN`s “New Day” to promote his new book, a loving tribute to Trump, “Trump: The Blue-Collar President” when he called the president a liar.

Alcoholics get plastered, pedophiles prey on children, crackheads will do anything for crack, philanders screw any warm orifice, and liars lie.

Just like an alcoholic`s addiction for alcohol is what defines him as an individual, a liar`s penchant for bending and twisting the truth is what defines his personality.

Everybody knows that Trump is a liar just like everybody knows Hitler was a racist, there is no need for me to chronicle his decades-long history of lying.

Trump`s supporters could care less that he is a pathological liar, indeed they applaud his lies, especially when his lies reaffirms their racist views.

Members of Trump`s administration, Republican leaders and his friends in the media never call a spade a spade and a liar a liar. Instead they claim Trump was just joking, or exaggerating to make a point, so it was encouraging to hear Scaramucci, an ardent defender of the president, call him a liar.

It is incumbent upon the media, bloggers and anyone with a public voice to call Trump a liar. The truth is diminished whenever we fail to call a liar a liar.
