The Definition of the Word "Is"

Yesterday on the evening news was the first time everything that came out of Donald Trump's mouth was a lie.  There were several discreet video bytes, and in each one when questioned about a political issue, Trump lied.  It was obvious and telling.  In this minutia of time, less than thirty seconds of news footage, Trump's business acumen was transparent.  He lies.  He tells people what they want to hear to solicit their business.  It is of no consequence that he lies.  What he says often is not factual and erroneous.  It has become so transparent and obvious, media in real time is trying to figure out how tactfully to report on a lying President of the United States.  Donald Trump is a pathological liar.  Lie number one.  "I have nothing to do with the Trump family business."  It's your name and your family, and Trump is madly at work using his presidential powers and authority to gain fortune for the family business.  This is not uncommon.  Bush senior only cared about oil.  Feigning leadership and representation for and of the people is an afterthought.  It is a necessity.  It is not the priority.  Gaining power and wealth for his family is.  Lie number two.  "Mohammed bin Salman had nothing to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a reporter for the Washington Post."  You're own intelligence community proved this.  Lie number three.  "I had nothing to do with Jeffry Epstein."  How much public information must Trump see and hear to make him stop lying?  It was sickening, but the Presidency of the United States is at stake.  It all depends on the definition of the word "is."
