"He established himself as someone with no respect for truth right away didn't he."
I'm fighting with every fibre of my being not to let this settle in as a default assumption, I definitely know some exceptions to this rule, but let's say, in general, I find that people whose identity is based on a lie have a very liberal relationship with the truth.

You are right in that of course, but it isn't my default. My thought on that hangs upon what "not long ago" means. Unfortunately, in the age of hyperbole we have trouble deciding if words are disingenuous. In the grand scheme of humanity's existence, not long ago is different from what people are generally thinking when they hear those words.
