Perhaps reflecting his level of maturity, Trump's operating principle is the children's old school taunt, "I'm rubber you're glue, what you say bounces off me and sticks to you."
Trump was rated the least truthful major presidential candidate in modern times, yet coined "Lyin Ted Cruz". His conflicts of interest are legion, and his charitable foundation was a self serving, discredited, sham. Yet he attacked the Clinton Foundation.
He called Hillary crooked, while defrauding students at Trump University so badly that he willingly paid $25,000,000 to settle their suit. He has amplified Russian propaganda and Breitbart conspiracy theories, while deriding major media as fake news.
Recently he accused, Obama's National Security Advisor, Susan Rice of politicizing the position. This is the same Trump who placed Mike Flynn, a foreign agent for Turkey, and a recipient of undisclosed Putin payments, as his National Security Advisor. Even with Flynn gone, he forced Flynn's successor to keep Cohen-Watnick on as a high level staffer. Cohen -Warick helped Nunes in his clandestine charade to substantiate Trump's lying tweet about Obama ordered wire tapping. Cannot get more political than that.
Even more recently, he blamed Assad's use of chemical weapons on Obama. Obama did not take strong action when Assad crossed this Obama decried redline. Unfortunately, Trump supported Obama's caution at the time, and criticized his debate opponents for seeking regime change in Syria.
If hypocrisy was helium, Trump could eclipse the entire Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
