(Excerpt; the complete editorial is behind a paywall):

“If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world?” the Journal’s editorial board wrote Tuesday night. “We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods.”

After describing Trump’s thoroughly refuted claim that he was wiretapped by former president Barack Obama — which the Journal argued has damaged his relationship with allies like the United Kingdom and his own agency heads like FBI Director James Comey — the editorial board noted that “Mr. Trump is his own worst political enemy.”

It added, “He survived his many false claims as a candidate because his core supporters treated it as mere hyperbole and his opponent was untrustworthy Hillary Clinton. But now he’s president, and he needs support beyond the Breitbart cheering section that will excuse anything.”

This really ain't gonna help his conservacred.
 
You're all a bunch of grown-up kids.

This is important. The WSJ is the Bible to many conservatives, especially bizcons.

No....KO posts a "nobody likes Trump" thread every day.
 
Fortunately we are not dependent on any President's credibility to decide whether or not a missile was launched by anybody and landed anywhere -- or for much else. Nor do I recall many past times when the fate of Western civilization hung by such a delicate thread.

Even Kennedy via Ambassador Stevenson during the Cuban Missile Crisis produced photographic proof at the UN Security Council.

I'm going to tweak the otherwise good advice of former President Reagan: "mistrust and verify."

But we must depend on it for some things, mustn't we? How can the world take America seriously when nobody believes what the president says?

Okay, let me try it this way.

With Hillary, I was basically distrustful, but I often didn't know what to believe. Whitewater, Benghazi, etc. She is a lying snake with an emphasis on the "snake" as much as the "lie."

Trump is so over the top I've almost got him tuned out from the get-go.

Presidents typically feign transparency and then skillfully coverup. Hillary would have been very good at that. Trump is fucking naked and too stupid to close the blinds.

I can work with that.

It's what we've been saying all along, Trump cannot be trusted because he speaks without thinking. I realize that his voters lack the same governor so they don't see anything wrong with the way the man acts and things he says, but it's getting ridiculous, he's telling lies like a 10 year old ffs.

I sense that you are not as jovial about this administration as you once were.
