President Trump speaks while welcoming Team Penske, champions of the 103rd Indianapolis 500, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on Monday. His former chief of staff lied about the events leading up to the resignation of White House staff secretary Rob Porter. Republicans continue to enable and echo lies for fear of being at odds with Trump and his cult followers. Trump has created an entire administration that operates on lies, exaggerations and distortions — all reinforced by a right-wing media and Republican Party members. Long after Trump has left office, the White House staff, the politicians and the right-wing media who sustained his lies will be remembered for their lack of integrity and honesty.
