Donald Trump provides us with the perfect metaphor for his demolition of democracy in the United States

Sakshi Venkatraman, Kwasi Asiedu and Bernd Debusmann Jr. report on Donald Trump's endless string of lies and misrepresentations:
Construction crews on Monday tore down massive chunks of a covered entryway and windows in the East Wing, which Trump said is being "fully modernised". 
The president previously said that his $250m (£186m) White House ballroom addition would be "near" the existing structure but would not change it. 
"It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be. It'll be near it but not touching it - and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. "It's my favourite. It's my favourite place. I love it."
