    Last week, we learned that the President of the United States engaged in fraud to avoid millions of dollars in taxes on his family fortune, yet hardly anyone is talking about it. When a democratic society becomes this inured to corruption, democracy itself is it risk.

    Cut out the “I’m sorry” part and then say the rest.

    I have some sympathy for USAToday's editors. He's the President! Of the United States! How do you say to the President, I'm sorry, unlike every other President since we were founded, we're not letting you print your Op-Ed in our paper, because you're a liar and these are lies?
