I ask you.  Why would President Trump lie?  Has he ever lied to you 
before, personally face-to-face?  There you go.  Trump never lies, we 
believe everything he and the government tell us because we are patriots.

I can't imagine what will happen to the minority of enemies who claim 
that Trump's told a lie.  

Don't they know the fable of Trump and the Cherry Tree? from his latest 
book?

was about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet! of 
which, like most little boys, he was immoderately fond, and was 
constantly going about chopping every thing that came in his way. One 
day, in the garden, where he often amused himself hacking his mother's 
pea-sticks, he unluckily tried the edge of his hatchet on the body of a 
beautiful young English cherry-tree, which he barked so terribly, that I 
don't believe the tree ever got the better of it. The next morning the 
old gentleman finding out what had befallen his tree, which, by the by, 
was a great favourite, came into the house, and with much warmth asked 
for the mischievous author, declaring at the same time, that he would not 
have taken five guineas for his tree. Nobody could tell him any thing 
about it. Presently George and his hatchet made their appearance. Little 
Donald Trump, said his father, do you know who killed that beautiful 
little cherry-tree yonder in the garden? This was a tough question; and 
child Donald Trump staggered under it for a moment; but quickly recovered 
himself: and looking at his father, with the sweet face of youth 
brightened with the inexpressible charm of all-conquering truth, he 
bravely cried out, "I can't tell a lie, Pa; you know I can't tell a lie. 
I did cut it with my hatchet"—Run to my arms, you dearest boy, cried his 
father in transports, run to my arms; glad am I, Pipsqueak Donald, that 
you killed my tree; for you have paid me for it a thousand fold. Such an 
act of heroism in my son, is more worth than a thousand trees, though 
blossomed with silver, and their fruits of purest gold.
