Paul Krugman: The Entire Trump Administration Suffers from the Same Dangerous Affliction @alternet

Paul Krugman: The Entire Trump Administration Suffers from the Same Dangerous Affliction @alternet: It's not just the president. No one in his cabinet can admit when they're wrong. This week, John Kelly, a four-star general and chief of staff for the president of the United States, lied to the American people—about Trump's conversation with a Gold Star widow, and about Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson's account of their call. A transcript of the call confirmed Kelly's lies, but outright mendacity seemingly has no consequences in our new age of unreality.
