Rebuild With Biden!
Trump, (as presidential candidate) has diminished the highest office in our country by his disregard/lack of respect for acceptable behavior and guidelines regarding truth and decency.
Donald Trump Has Shattered Campaign Norms In Damaging, Potentially Lasting Ways
We have grown numb to policies, rhetoric and conduct that was once far beyond the bounds of acceptability.
Fairly early into his speech in Michigan on Sunday night, Donald Trump stated that five years ago he had been honored as Michigan “Man of the Year.”
Except it appears no such honor was ever bestowed. Those who would know can’t recall it happening, and the Trump campaign refuses to comment.
It’s a small fib in the grand scheme of things, not one that will change voter perceptions. The cake, as they say, is baked.
But the fact that Trump’s lying is taken for granted, that he casually will say he won Michigan’s “Man of the Year” and plow right on with conviction, says a lot about his campaign and its lasting impact on future elections. Acts that used to engender strong backlash have become mundane. Even worse, important political precedents have been broken and troubling social trends have been normalized.
