Trump, the Father of Lies?
So, you feel Trump is like one of the characters in the Bible? I agree. He does lie a lot. And isn’t there a passage about the Devil being charming as hell and leading many astray? Yeah, the charm was before the election. Now you’re in the domain of the Father of Lies…..

Boss: It seems the new AI-powered customer service function is a success… people are actually upset when we step in to do some human interaction.
