Hour 2: Are Trump's comments harmless exaggerations, political salesmanship, or reprehensible recklessness?

Does it matter if the president tells the truth? President Trump has made questionable claims about the stock market and about alleged vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Are these harmless exaggerations, political salesmanship, or does the truth still matter when it comes from the White House? Democrats have built substantial electoral momentum across the country through a series of significant victories in marquee gubernatorial races, state legislative flips, and progressive primary sweeps. Driven largely by an early voter backlash and a shifting political landscape following President Trump's return to the White House, the Democratic Party has repeatedly overperformed in local, state, and special elections.
