The President Who Never Lied
“If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” asked the President who never lied to whip his followers into a frenzy. His true believers cheered.
“The mob takes the Fifth,” said the President who never lied. His true believers hooped and hollered.
“The Fifth. Horrible! Horrible!” insisted the President who never lied. His true believers waved flags of his graven image.
Then when he was deposed.
“Why did you overvalue your assets to secure loans and undervalue your assets to evade taxes?” he was asked for hours by New York state attorneys.
He took the Fifth 440 times.
