It's very difficult to govern. It's very difficult to lead other people if they fundamentally don't believe you are telling the truth. Trust is still -- it's an old fashioned idea, but it's still the coin of the realm in politics.
Gergen highlights the importance of trust in political leadership amidst Trump's frequent lying.

Sadly, you know, I think for a variety of reasons he should not. I just, I don't think either Trump or Biden should be running.
It's very, very big. Not legally, but politically, it's a very, very big deal.
If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
I think this the very idea that in 2024, we may have two men running against each other Biden and Trump, who would both be in their 80s if elected, that it too is enough to say, well, what are we doing here?
