You remember Richard Nixon, don’t you? He was the president who resigned on August 8, 1974, before he could be impeached for crimes in connection with the Watergate Scandal.

At a press conference on November 17, 1973, when questioned about Watergate, he had declared, “I am not a crook.”

Well, he lied. He was a crook. And he, his partners-in-crime, and the entire country paid a steep price for it.

*. *. *

Then there was Bill Clinton, who foolishly insisted, when asked about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky:

“I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

Guess what? He lied too.

*. *. *

And this one, who says his war of attrition against Ukraine is a “special military operation,” launched to protect Russia-friendly Ukrainians from alleged persecution by a non-existent Nazi regime:

The whole world knows he lies about everything.

*. *. *

Deny, deny, deny. It’s a common tactic used by everyone from the toddler caught with his hand in the cookie jar, to the student who lobbed the spitball at the teacher, to the world leader whitewashing anything from garden-variety corruption to full-blown genocide.

When you know you’re guilty, you just keep denying it and hope there’s no one out there who can prove you’re lying.

So why — considering his well-documented inability to tell the truth about anything — should we believe this guy when he declares, twice in two days:

“I am not a dictator” . . . and then immediately adds that a lot of people are saying maybe they’d actually like to have a dictator?

And we’re supposed to believe him? With his track record?

Just sayin’ . . .
