Stephan:   It isn't just that Trump lies, it's that he expects people who work for him to lie as well.  it is the hallmark of his administration. Everything he touches is either a lie, or a grift, always to his personal benefit.  Which tells you a lot about the nature of people willing to work for such a man.

One day after President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats failed to strike a deal on funding for Trump’s border wall and reopen the federal government, the White House released the PowerPoint presentation Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen prepared to brief Democratic leadership on border security.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), however, reportedly interrupted the presentation, titled “A Border Security and Humanitarian Crisis,” after they objected to what was being discussed.

Nielsen tweeted that she was “disappointed” Democrats did not want hear from DHS about the “security and humanitarian crisis” of “criminal aliens” at the border.
