The degree to which President Donald Trump and his spinners have diverged from and lied about Robert Mueller's report should shock but not surprise us. Trump operates in a world of his own making, one in which he and Fox News spin a parallel set of facts that bear only passing resemblance to reality.
This is evident when Trump says things such as "Nobody disobeys my orders." He claims he's been "exonerated." This is balderdash. The Washington Post lists a whole bunch of incidents in which aides declined to follow Trump's orders:
* Former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski: Declined to apply pressure on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to limit the scope of the Russia probe.
