Starting in late 1985, Schwartz spent eighteen months with Trump—camping out in his office, joining him on his helicopter, tagging along at meetings, and spending weekends with him at his Manhattan apartment and his Florida estate.

All politicians lie strategically.

Trump wasn't a politician for the first 70-ish years of his life.

Bernie Sanders proves that all politicians do not lie.
"Both sides are the same" is bullshit. We all know Trump's dishonest is at an entirely different level with most politicians. The key was "he had a complete lack of conscious about it". Most people have a conscious and know that lying is a character flaw. Trump does not at all think of dishonesty as a character flaw. Trump thinks of honesty as a character flaw.

Bernie Sanders is not qualified. Just because he comes out with socialist clichés, doesn't make a qualified leader.

LMFAO WTF are you talking about? There is no denying that Bernie Sanders is one of our most prominent and popular politicians. And I have never known him to lie ever. You've just completely discredited yourself with your dis of our greatest politician.

I don't give a shit what War Criminal Putin thinks about him.

Nothing great about Bernie Sanders. We have plenty of activist in our day. Just turn on your TV. He isn't qualified to run anything. Even Barack Obama denounced Bernie as a democrat front-runner just like Bush-Lights denounced Donald Trump, including the Cheney's. His spending proposals show how incompetent he is.
