The president has undermined trust. No longer will the members of Congress be entitled to accept his veracity. Caveat emptor has become the word. Every member of Congress is on his or her own to determine the truth. ↗

The president, clearly as a result of the war and the afterglow of the war, is in a time of great attention. ↗
