White House is in continuous disarray - pathological lying

Donald Trump is the worst president in modern times.

Donald Trump's administration is cruel and oblivious to the concept of truth. 
"For the good of our country, the like-minded administration colleagues must come out of the shadows and publicly share their eyewitness accounts to White House chaos. Republicans in Congress must summon the courage to call out Donald Trump for the damage he is inflicting on the institution of the presidency, our nation, and our standing in the world.” Quote by an unnamed Trump administration official

Indeed, journalist Bob Woodard;s credibility was validated when All the President's Men revealed how Richard Nixon was complicit in criminal activity against the Democrats in the 1972 presidential election. It was Bob Woodward and his journalism colleague Carl Bernstein who revealed the truth in the Watergate investigation that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon.

Therefore, this essay by Woodward is particularly significant:

Washington is rocked by sketches of a White House in disarray.

Specifically, members of Donald Trump's staff appear to be working to contain his worst impulses, even going behind his back in the name of what staff members see as the national interest.

First came the coverage of "Fear: Trump in the White House," the behind-the-scenes book by Bob Woodward, the Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist for The Washington Post, most famous for his coverage of the Watergate scandal with Carl Bernstein.

Senator Bernie Sanders has said, "....we have seen more and more evidence of Donald Trump’s dangerous disregard for the democratic norms of America, and stunning revelations about his erratic, and misguided policy decisions and his pathological lying," said Sanders.

"We live in dangerous and unprecedented times. Our job now is to energize people, revitalize American democracy and fight for a government that will work for all of us, and not the wealthy few," Sanders said.
