They are all deceitful.

As a businessman Trump had a reputation of shafting contractors and workers and as a politiciian Trunp has mastered the art of the lie.

Vladimir Putin was a lieutenant colonel in the KGB and worked as a foreign intelligence officer. James Clapper has a background which involves working with or for various intelligence agencies in our nation. Intelligence organizations are by nature deceitful.

Honesty is a rare virtue in today's society while deceit is common and often well rewarded.
