5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

    >>> ... because they operate that way, they expect everyone else to operate that way too.

    This applies to many people from many positions. This is why the Old Testament maxim is "Do not do to others what is hateful to yourself", rather than the New Testament version "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." As George Bernard Shaw put it, "Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same." But of course, EVEN CONSIDERING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WANT (rather than just what oneself wants) is a widely varying attribute.
