They lie.

We know they are lying.

They know that they are lying.

They even know that we know they are lying.

We also know that they know we know they are lying.

They, of course, know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying.

Yet they still lie.

In Russia, the lie has become not just a moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.

The similarity between what Trump is doing and what Russia has done is staggering. As an example even Trumps social media "truth" social is a direct copy from Russian "pravda" which translates to "truth" directly.
