That is EXACTLY the problem - because Trump LIES!  
Just a few examples  of lies Mr. Trump has told:
* Thousands of Muslims in New Jersey watched and cheered as the Twin Towers fell.
* He won the electoral collage by an historic landslide. (His win ranked 46th out of 58 presidential elections)
* He would have won the popular vote except for the millions who voted illegally. 
* His inauguration had the biggest crowd ever. 
And on and on...

And not to mention his dizzying reversals of opinions.
* The Russians didn't interfere with the election.  Oh wait, I guess they did.
* The CIA acts like Nazis.  But really, I LOVE the CIA....
And on and on ...

The media is more critical than ever!
