The Surprising Honesty of Donald Trump
In a recent interview, President Donald Trump admitted that he hesitated to sanction Saudi Arabia for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi because of the lucrative military equipment deals at stake. This candid revelation sheds light on the prioritization of profit over human rights in U.S. foreign policy, a truth rarely acknowledged by politicians.
While Trump’s occasional moments of honesty may provide insight into the inner workings of American politics, his consistent pattern of narcissistic lying poses a significant threat to democracy. By spreading misinformation and undermining the credibility of the media, Trump erodes the foundation of a well-informed citizenry essential for a functioning democracy.
