Credibility...

Credibility is one of those things over which we have total control. Well, I suppose that is not entirely true. Hillary's credibility went down in flames as people were told about crates of fake ballots filled in for her that were found before the election. It turns out the story was one of the fake news stories, "alternative or altered facts", that turned voters away from voting at all. Using a photo of Barak Obama's inauguration to show "huge" numbers of people showing up on a sunny day was an "alternative fact" to Donald Trump's low turnout on a rainy January 20, 2017. A creepy fact is ordering the identical inaugural cake as Obama's and from someone other than the original designer. These are facts that will follow Donald Trump through his presidency. Unless, of course, his denials become the new "alternative facts" that people believe. Sent January 31, 2017
