It’s come down to this: No longer can I take a single thing that Donald John Trump Sr. says at face value.<\/p>\n

I do not believe unequivocally a single statement he can make.<\/p>\n

Take his recent use of the term “sh**hole” to describe Africa, Haiti and El Salvador. He denies saying it. This morning, Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., who was in the room when the president said it actually stood with Trump in his denial.<\/p>\n

Others in the room — Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill. — said Trump used the term. Durbin said he uttered the term “repeatedly” while talking about immigration.<\/p>\n

Trump’s lying is so pervasive, so inclusive, so very disturbing that I’ve crossed a key threshold that now casts into doubt every single utterance that flies out of his mouth.<\/p>\n

My state of disbelief rivals how I used to feel about a one-time Amarillo, Texas, figure. I refer to the late Stanley Marsh 3, the eccentric millionaire artisan\/lawyer\/goofball who in his day did some mighty strange things.<\/p>\n

The Weather Channel came here in the early 2000s to cover a weather-related event and while the TV weatherman was on the air, Marsh — while wearing a feathered head dress — started prancing around in the background doing some sort of Native American dance.<\/p>\n

Marsh was the strangest of strange dudes. It got so weird that there came a time when there wasn’t a single thing one could say about Marsh that I could dismiss out of hand.<\/p>\n

“Hey, did you hear that Stanley flew to Mars and brought a Martian back to Earth with him.” <\/em>I always felt in the deepest part of my gut, “You know … I wouldn’t put it past him.”<\/p>\n

And so it is with Donald Trump. The man has been heard in public using filthy language. He referred to pro football players protesting police conduct against African-Americans as “sons of bi*****. ” He has used what my father used to call “the functional<\/em> four-letter word” on more than one occasion since becoming a politician. He has done the same with the scatological term as well.<\/p>\n

So, when he denies calling certain nations of the world “sh**hole” countries, well … I don’t believe his denial.<\/p>\n

The man is a liar.<\/p>\n\n
